Abstract :
In Part I the admittance and impedance of a two-element array when immersed in an arbitrary dissipative medium are determined from a generalization of the King-Sandier theory of arrays. Numerical results are given for half-wave and quarter-wave dipoles with two different thicknesses. The distance between the elements is the independent variable. In Part II, experiments carried out in a tank filled with a conducting solution to determine the self and mutual admittances of coupled dipoles are described. The agreement between the measured values and the theory reported in Part I is quite good.
