Theoretical analysis of a centre-fed dipole antenna with feed points displaced arbitrarilyand immersed in a weakly ionised plasma

The presence of plasma has a profound effect on the properties of antenna. Furthermore, the feed point spacing (centre gap) should be small and if this spacing increases in any direction considerably then the properties of the antenna will also vary. In this paper the effect on the properties of a centre-fed fullwave antenna on the radiation is discussed in detail.
