  • Abstract
    A theoretical model and computer simulations of the current on the coaxial collinear (COCO) antenna are presented. Comparisons between numerical results and measurements are made for 24- and 26-element COCO antennas at 50 MHz and for six- and eight-element COCO antennas at 915 MHz. The results show reasonable agreement between first-order theory and measurements.
