Response of spherical monopole antenna on real earth modelled as slabs of different dielectric constants and conductivities

Abstract

The figure of merit of any ground based antenna is significantly influenced by the properties of the ground. So to design such an antenna, it is required that the ground properties should be properly understood. The present report presents the simulation results of spherical monopole antenna placed over the ground modelled as slabs of definite thickness with known varying dielectric constants and conductivities.
