  • Abstract
    The free current oscillations in a wire antenna are basic for the approximate representation of the driven antenna as a primary current source. It is shown here that this current distribution to be used as a primary source is altered by the motion of the surrounding medium. In contrast with conclusions elsewhere in literature, this result yields that the power radiation pattern of a center-driven linear antenna is not altered by the motion of the medium.
