Abstract :
An eccentrically insulated dipole antenna with two layers of insulation behaves mathematically like a lossy transmission line when the antenna is immersed in a relatively dense medium. The parameters of the equivalent transmission line are obtained. They are found to be quite different from those of a similar antenna with a single insulation layer.
