Capacitance and effective area of flush monopole probes

Basilio, Lorena I.; Warne, Larry K.; Johnson, William Arthur.; Higgins, Matthew B.; Lehr, J.M.

Approximate formulas are constructed and numerical simulations are carried out for electric field derivative probes that have the form of flush mounted monopoles. Effects such as rounded edges are included. A method is introduced to make results from two-dimensional conformal mapping analyses accurately apply to the three-dimensional axisymmetric probe geometry
