  • Abstract
    An experimental technique to determine accurately the admittance parameters of electrically short monopoles is presented. Measurements were taken using an HP 8510C network analyser in the frequency range 45 MHz to 3 GHz. The experimental results compare well with numerical predictions. Both bare and insulated monopoles were studied
