Response of a loaded electric dipole in an imperfectly conducting cylinder of finite length

The problem is to determine the power in the load impedance at the center of a shor t dipole receiving antenna that is locrtted within an imperfectly conducting shield of cylindrical sh ape and finite length in terms of rt known electric field outside the completely closed shield. It is assumed that t lle mdius of the shicld and length of the probe are small fract ions of the wavelength. The solu tion consists of the successive determination of the following : (a) The ratio of th e electric field inside tN the neld on the outside surface of thc hield . (b) Thc ratio of the electric field on the outside surfaee of the hollow cylinder to the incident electric field. (c) The effective length a nd the driving-point impedance of the cen ter-Ioaded dipole inside the shield. (d ) The powcr in the load impedance of th e dipole in terms of the elec tric field within the cylindrical shi eld.
