If by any chance you can read German, I recommend _Kurze Antennen_ by
Gerd Janzen (DF6SJ). Even if you can't, you can get a lot from the many
equations, diagrams, and graphs.

It's a shame that Gerd has never been able to find a publisher that
would give him a fair deal for publishing this or his other excellent
books in English.

Does anybody have a recommendation for a good book or journal article on
very short antennas? I'm trying to design the front end for a LF/VLF
receiver and would really like to know the equivalent circuit for
antennas ( both E-probe and loop ) a tenth of a wavelength or less.

I've Googled around and looked at a couple of lowfer web sites. Lots of
cookbook stuff and some approximate formulas for radiation resistance,
etc. but I haven't seen a real definitive treatment of this subject.

What about the oldie-but-goodie book by Kraus? Is that worth investing
in, or is there anything newer or better?

Thanks for any info.
