Abstract :
An approximate expression is derived for the phase velocity of wave propagation along an infinite zig-zag antenna. It is theoretically proved that that the zig-zag antenna acts as a slow wave structure. Theoretical calculations have been made for radiation patterns and characteristic impedance
