Abstract :
The available analytical approaches to treat the thin wire dipole impedance are the induced EMF method and the wave structure method. Both methods are suitable for the infinitesimal- or zero-gap feeds. Their solutions are compared here in order to offer benchmark impedance results which cannot readily calculated using numerical solvers.
