Single-Series Solution to the Radiation of Loop Antenna in the Presence of a Conducting Sphere

Progress In Electromagnetics Research, Vol. 71, 277-294, 2007
Abstract
A ring source of arbitrary current backed by a perfectly conducting sphere is analyzed through Green's function formulation. The infinite double sum of the Green's function is written in terms of a single series by performing a transformation of the coordinate system. The resulting form is used for the numerical evaluation of the scattering integral. The operation of the coupled loop-sphere structure is understood via the discussion of several numerical results.
