The influence of electromagnetic singularities on an active dipole antenna within a cavity
Institute for Fundamental Electrical Engineering and EMC, Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg, P.O. Box 4120, 39016 Magdeburg, Germany
Abstract. We study the influence of both the electromagnetic source singularity and electromagnetic cavity resonances on the current distribution of a dipole antenna within a rectangular cavity. These two types of electromagnetic singularities are triggered by the radius of the dipole antenna and the quality factor of the enclosing cavity, respectively. The key element of our investigation is a novel representation of the electromagnetic Green’s function for a lossy rectangular cavity. It allows to directly obtain the current distribution on the antenna by means of the method of moments. As a result it is recognized that a dominating source singularity, i.e., a small antenna radius, can inhibit resonating effects, even if a cavity resonance is excited and the quality factor of the cavity is high.
