Abstract :
A cylindrical dipole antenna having finite dimensions, and surrounded by a homogeneous warm plasma, has been treated as a boundary-value problem. The current on the antenna has been determined and has been found to possess an oscillatory component, the fluctuations of which have approximately the wavelength of the surface wave on a corresponding infinite cylinder immersed in a warm plasma.
