by G. W.
Peirce 3
who has
recently
published a remarkable research on the radiation resistance of a flat top antenna. This article is based upon the work of Peirce
and Abraham, but the equations are worked out for the fundamental and not for the forced vibration. The application of the formula
is
new.
The following assumptions are made: 1. That any antenna may be considered to be made up of a large number of Hertzian doublets placed end to end. 2. That the earth is a perfectly conducting plane. 3. That the waves propagated high into the air eventually return to the earth. The reason for this assumption will be shown in the section dealing with the horizontal part of the antenna.

long waves than for short ones. Secondly, because the waves from a high antenna are not brought to earth so quickly (see assumption three) as those from a short one. Just as soon, however, as the wave length is reached for which the earth is a perfect conductor, no further effected

SECOND PART NUMERICAL CALCULATION The power
radiated per unit area in certain zones at distances
and 9,000 meters above the earth's surface, and at a distance 10,000 meters from the origin will now be calculated by means of equations (8), (19) and (20). In these equations = 440. Then let h = 10 meters, d = 100 meters, X = 4(& d) the power radiated from the vertical part may be expressed by (8) in the form 2,000, 6,000

The calculations of E 9 (V/4:ir) for the horizontal part are by no means as simple as this. The value of the angle in formula (19) 2
changes for every point on the zone at the height 9000, 6000 and so on. This change must be calculated. In Fig. 6 ABC

Zeitsch., Vol. 9, p. 553, 1908) has shown that this difference may be due to imperfect conductivity in the earth's surface.

:
The equations developed by
Pocklington,
and Peirce have been applied to an antenna with

and
horizontal parts in such a way as to find the energy given out for the fundamental vibration:

Second: The intensities so obtained are plotted and are shown to have a fore and aft directive inclination. The intensity fore

aft is
symmetrical and not asymmetrical as required by the
experiments.

Close to the antenna the intensities are symmetrical azimuth agreeing with experiment. Fourth: The conclusion is that the fore and aft asymmetry

The forms
Fifth:

show that
