The small bare loop antenna immersed in a dissipative medium

The input admittance of a small thin-wire circular loop antenna, driven by a slice generator, immersed in a dissipative medium, is considered. It is found that the solution given by Storer for the loop antenna in a lossless medium can be carded over readily by replacing
\zeta_{0}
by
\zeta
, and
k_{0}
by
k
. The numerical values of the normalized input conductance and input susceptance of a small loop antenna, namely
\beta b \leq 0.3
,
\Omega = 10
, are calculated. It is to be noted that the input susceptance is practically independent of
k
while the input conductance changes as much as seventeen times in this special case.
