Abstract :
Impedance and current distribution expressions of dipole elements in a large subsurface antenna array are derived and compared with experimental data. The analysis assumes an array immersed in a semi-infinite, homogeneous conducting medium with a large loss tangent. The results are presented in generalized form which facilitates the determination of mutual coupling and optimum spacing between identical array elements.
