The current distribution and input impedance of cylindrical antennas

This paper treats both the formulation of the problem and its solution in a fundamental way permitting only approximations which appear evident. A system of four integro-differential equations is derived and these are applied to the cylindrical antenna problem. An integral equation of Hallen´s type occurs and this is solved exactly by transform methods. The input impedance of a full wave antenna is computed numerically to show that the present theory is consistent with other results.
