Insulated non-uniform cylindrical antenna uniformly radiated into a lossy media

Basic considerations regarding the profiles of the attenuation constant and the monopole radius which assure uniform radiation rate along the monopole have been performed. The results enable us to design an insulated non-uniform cylindrical antenna uniformly radiated into a lossy medium. As only the forward wave has been analyzed, the design should assure that more than 90% of the power be radiated. The results may be used for guidance, giving a starting point for the numerical methods.
