Characteristics of the crossed field antenna obtained by numerical and experimental modelling

An antenna is sometimes described as a coupling device, coupling electromagnetic energy into the propagation medium. Pursuing this line of thinking, amateurs in radio and antenna specialists have wondered whether there were methods of achieving this process in more efficient ways than realized using conventional antenna systems. One proposal that has stimulated a considerable interest is that by Kabbary et al. [1946], which describes a ground plane type (so called) crossed field antenna, in which the E- and H-fields are said to have been generated separately, and so can have the required time phase and quadrature space relationships in the near field for real power, as given by an out-going Poynting vector P = ExH
