On the near-wavefront behavior of the magnetic field of an infinitely long antenna
Abstract
An early-time formula is derived for the magnetic field near the wavefront around an infinitely long dipole antenna. The formula is found to be in agreement, in certain different limits, with known results of Latham and Lee (1970), Wu (1961), and Chen. Therefore, the formula is valid over the entire spherical wavefront which is moving out from a slice generator.
