  • Abstract
    The integral equation technique is used to find rigorous solutions of the current distributions on zigzag antennas. Through a new decomposition technique the currents are analytically separated into forward and reflected components, from which accurate k - \\beta diagrams of the structures can be obtained. For the case of log-periodic antennas, the forward component of the current also gives the characteristic admittance of the antenna, which can be determined hitherto only through many measurements or calculations.
