Physical limitations of antennas in a lossy medium

Author

Summary, in English

The dissipated power and the directivity of antennas in a homogeneous, lossy

medium are systematically analyzed in this paper. The antennas are ideal

and located inside a lossless sphere. In the lossy space outside the sphere, the

electromagnetic fields are expanded in a complete set of vector wave functions.

The optimal values of the radiation efficiency, the directivity, as well as the

power gain are derived.
