I think that what you're looking for is in Kraus "Antennas for All Applications", page 446 - "Self-impedance of a thin linear antenna". The formula given is based on the induced-EMF method... it's an approximation which apparently works well for cylindrical antennas whose length is at least 100x the diameter. And, interestingly, a LOT of amateur antennas don't meet this slenderness constraint. Wire dipoles hanging in the air do. Fans, cages, etc., often don't. No problem with the model, just awareness of the footnotes and limitations (which often get omitted in the less rigorously reviewed internet literature..) |
