Abstract :
The tangential electric field excited on the conducting surface of a transmitting antenna is calculated by modifying a variational impedance formulation. For an antenna in a magnetoionic medium, the boundary condition requiring that the tangential electric field vanish on the surface is satisfied to approximately the same degree as for dielectric coated antennas, where the variational solution can be verified by comparisons with experimental and other theoretical studies.
