Abstract :
The broad-band response of a VLF/LF dual-wire aircraft antenna is analyzed. The impedance properties and the induced currents on the two wires of different lengths are obtained via a superposition procedure in which the original problem is split into two transmission-line (differential-mode current) problems and two antenna (common-mode current) problems. Results for the input admittance and short-circuit current of a representative VLF/LF dual-wire antenna are presented.
