On the quality factor and energy center of antennas
Abstract
A formula for calculating the quality center of antennas is proposed which is free of some of the disadvantages associated with previous formulas. The concept of the energy center of an antenna which is related to the quality factor is introduced. It is noted that the formula for quality factor makes it possible to define more precisely the class of physically possible radiation patterns.
