An improved statistical model for linear antenna input impedance in an electrically large cavity

Johnson, William Arthur.; Jorgenson, Roy E.; Warne, Larry K.

This report presents a modification of a previous model for the statistical distribution of linear antenna impedance. With this modification a simple formula is determined which yields accurate results for all ratios of modal spectral width to spacing. It is shown that the reactance formula approaches the known unit Lorentzian in the lossless limit.
