General Solution of a Monopole Loaded by a Dielectric Hemisphere for Efficient Computation

K. W. Leung

Page 1267.

Abstract:

A simple result for the general solution of a monopole loaded by a dielectric hemisphere is presented. The result can be calculated without the need for any numerical integration and, thus, it is computationally very efficient. In addition, the result is very easy to implement and should be useful to the design engineer.
