On the input construction of thin antennas

Input conductances of thin antennas are computed by evaluating separately input voltage and radiated power for a prescribed value of the current near the maximum. The current distribution required to evaluate the radiated power and the input voltage is obtained by solving Hallèn's equation for the prescribed value of the current. First and second order computations were carried out for full wave antennas, and the results compared with those obtained by others.
