Describes the modeling, testing, and application of both airborne and ground-based monopole antennas. Retired from the MITRE corporation, the author presents models in which the current distribution of the monopole element is known and not known, then examines the influence on the monopole antenna currents and mode of propagation by the antenna's proximity to the earth. A large appendix lists computer plots and printouts of numerical results. The CD-ROM contains 15 computer programs for performing computations. The first five chapters are a revised version of Monopole elements of circular ground planes published in 1987 by Artech House. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
