Abstract
The radiation and impedance characteristics of a spherically capped conic antenna protruding from a spherical vehicle are studied as a function of cone height, cone angle, and diameter of the vehicle. The conic antenna is excited by a gap at the cone base. The excitation is assumed rotationally symmetric. Considered in detail is the thin conical monopole extending from a sphere. The radiation patterns and antenna impedance referred to the base are calculated and compared with that of a cylindrical monopole over an infinite conducting plane.
