Abstract :
Formulas for self inductance, mutual inductance, and image for a horizontal loop placed above a resistive sheet are presented. These results extend the magnetostatically-derived self- and mutual-inductance concepts to account for the finite speed of propagation of the fields. Classical network equivalents are introduced for low- and high-resistive sheet values. For capacitive sheets, the structure is capable of selective radiation (eminently below the plane of the sheet)
