Abstract

The problem of electromagnetic waves radiation by a vibrators system with variable distributed surface impedance along their axes located in free space is solved by the generalized method of induced electromotive forces (EMF). The distinctive peculiarity of this method is the use of the functional distributions, obtained as a result of the analytical solution of the integral equation for the current by the asymptotic averaging method before, as the basic approximations for the currents along the impedance vibrators. The multi-parameter characteristics of three-element and multi-element antennas with variable impedance vibrators are calculated.
