RADIATION FROM A SEMI-INFINITE DIELECTRIC-COATED SPHERICALLY TIPPED PERFECTLY CONDUCTING CONE PART I

Abstract

The solution to the problem of electromagnetic radiation from a semi-infinite dielectric-coated spherically tipped perfectly conducting cone excited by delta function sources has been obtained by using the orthogonal properties of Sommerfeld's complex-order spherical Hankel wave functions. The posibility of radiation of the symmetric as well as unsymmetric TM, TE and hybrid modes from such a structure is discussed.
