W. Gesang et al., RECEIVING AND SCATTERING CHARACTERISTICS OF AN IMAGED MONOPOLE BENEATH A LOSSY SHEET, IEEE transactions on antennas and propagation, 41(3), 1993, pp. 287-294
An analytical treatment of the radiation, scattering, and receiving pr
operties of an imaged monopole in trilayered media with a perfectly co
nducting ground plane, a dielectric substrate, an electrically or magn
etically lossy sheet as superstrate, and a homogeneous cover region is
carried out. It is shown that while the power received by the monopol
e antenna is reduced by the presence of the lossy sheet, the scattered
field is more greatly reduced, in agreement with observed behavior. C
omparison with experimental and previously published numerical results
validates the analysis.
