Harrison, Jr, C W; Sparks, D

The far zone eiectric and magnetic fields of an inverted L-antenna with image are calculated on the basis of an assumed sinusoidal distribution of current in the structure. The field pattern thus defirmined corresponds closely to the distant field of any antenna that may be synthesized from an inverted L- antenna with image and a transmission line section. This is true because the radiation field is due principaily to antenna mode rather than transmiBsion line mode currents. An antenna-transmission line configuration of the type included within the purview of this analysis is the familiar hairpin' (or bent folded unipole) telemetry antenna. (auth)
