  • Abstract
    When electrically thin conductors of different cross sectional size meet, the continuity of current is assured by Kirchhoff´s current law. Additional conditions must be imposed on the derivatives of the currents or the charges per unit length. The nature of the required conditions is determined from an analysis of the tapered antenna.
