Calculation of the Radiation Pattern of an Antenna over a Semiconducting Plane by a Modified Method of Images

Abstract

We present an algorithm for finding the electromagnetic field produced by an antenna located near a semiconducting plane by the method of images. The results of calculating the radiation pattern of an X-shaped antenna system with four inclined beams, which is located in immediate proximity of the Earth's surface, are presented. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
