Hi,
I'm trying to find the input impedance of an OCF dipole and I need a sanity check by one of the more experienced guys here. Now, I have assumed that the voltage and current distribution along the line is always the same, no matter where you feed the antenna at [1]. The radiation resistance doesn't seem to be affected, I was looking at the notes in [2]. So that leaves us with the [itex]sin^2 (\beta l/2)[/itex] term in equations 9.37-9.38, controlling the input impedance.
Am I making sense?
Thanks,
