  • Abstract
    Working at frequencies from 12 to 152 cycles per second, an artificial antenna made up of numerous sections each having lumped capacity and inductance (and closely simulating an actual antenna), is carefully studied. The effective capacity, inductance, and resistance are measured and found to agree with theory; and the theoretical effects of capacity and inductance loading are similarly experimentally verified.
