Radiation from Common Mode Currents on Coaxial Lines Feeding Small Monopole Antennas

Common mode currents occur on coaxial lines feeding either symmetrical antennas, or electrically small antennas. In this paper, we propose to apply the distance averaging technique in order to discriminate the radiation generated by the common mode currents from the antenna radiation. The proposed technique is based on the ability of the distance averaging approach to reduce the effect of the dist...
