Harrison, Jr, C W

Formulas for the mutual and self-impedance of two identical nonstaggered parallel folded dipoles are developed. Through the use of exannples it is shown how the theory may be generalized to permit determination of these impedances for any identical dual configuration of wires, no matter how complicated, provided the structures are symmetrical with respect to the driving points. Two obvious uses of the theory are (a) the determination of the performance of a two-element folded antenna array, when one antenna is a tuned parasite, functioning as a director or reflector, and (b) determination of the driving-point impedance of a folded antenna parallel to a conducting plane.
