Results of the analysis of the characteristics of rhombic antennas by the integral-equation method
Abstract
The characteristics of a rhombic antenna were calculated by solving an integral equation for the current distribution. These results are compared with corresponding results obtained by Aisenberg's (1962) approximation method and by an experimental study. It is shown that the broadband matching of a rhombic antenna can be significantly improved by the use of two lumped reactive resistances.
