ABSTRACT

The problem of a finite, ferrite-rod antenna has been treated theoreti-

cally by recognizing an analogy between the ferrite antenna. and the conduct-

ing cylindrical dipole antenna which has been studied extensively. Initially

the ferrite is idealized to be a perfect magnetic conductor and an Hall~n

type of integral equation (1] is obtained for the magnetic current. By al-

lowing the antenna height to approach infinity, the formulation is shown to

be consistent with previously obtained results for the infinitely long fer-

rite antenna [2]. Subsequently, the integral equation is modified appropri-

ately to treat the ferrite as an imperfect magnetic conductor, and the cur-

rent is obtained in the three-term form of King and Wu (3]. Because this

treatment relies rather heavily on a mathematical equivalence of the two

problems under idealized driving conditions, an alternative, more rigorous

formulation is presented. The result is a pair of coupled integral equations

in the tangential electric field (or magnetic current) and the circumferen-

tial electric current. The coupled integral equations are solved numerical-

ly. An experimental apparatus was fabricated to verify the solutions. Good

agreement is obtained for a range of parameters. 11te experiments were per-

formed for three values of 0 - 2 Ln(2h/a) - 8.5534, 7.4754 and 6.089. The

electrical radius ak0 ranged from .00132 to .01662.

1. INTRODUCTION

In an earlier report on this subject (21 the magnetic current on a fer-

rite-rod antenna was derived explicitly in the form of an inverpe Fourier in-

tegral. The driving loop loaded by an infinitely long, homogeneous and iso--

tropic ferrite rod was assumed to be electrically small so that it carried an

essentially constant current IO. When the ferrite rod is assumed to be of

infinite length, the magnetic current is equal to a definite integral which

is suitable for numerical evaluation. Two values of electrical radii, viz.,

ak0 • 0.05 and 0.1, were considered and for one of the cases the magnetic

current was plotted (2] for several values of the permeability of the ferrite

rod ranging from 10 to 200. The total magnetic current can be interpreted in

terms of a sum of transmission and radiation currents. If u and cr of the

ferrite rod are assumed to be real, the transmission current can be associ-

ated with eu unattenuated, rotationallv symmetric TE surface wave. It was

further found that the cutoff condition for this wave is that the electrical

radius akI be greater than 2.405.

In a practical situation, however, the antenna is of necessity finite

and electrically short as well, so that a new mathematical formulation along

with an experimental investigation is needed for the problem of a finite for-

rite-rod anteanna. Sections 2 through 8 present the two different theoretical

approaches used to determine the magnetic current distribution on tile finite

ferrite antenna; Section 9 describes the experimental apparatus and results.

2. PROBLEU OF A FINITE FERRITE-ROD ANTENNA

The present formulation is based on the analogy between the cylindrical

dipole antenna and the ferrite-rod antenna. The dipole antenna is made up of

a wire, rod or tube of high electrical conductivity and aay he driven by a

two-wire line. Equivalently, a monopole antenna fed by a coaxial line corre-

"sponds to a dipole antenna through its image in a ground plane. In either

configuration, the driving source is represented by an idealized voltage or

electric field generator which mathematically takes the form of a delta func-

tion. Similarly, the ferrite rod antenna is fabricated from a material of

high magnetic permeability and is driven by an electrically small loop an-

tenna carrying a constant current. The loop is, correspondingly, represented

by an idealized current or magnetic field generator and takes the form of a

delta function. These similarities suggest approaching the problem of the

ferrite antenna by treating the ferrite rod as a good magnetic conductor.

J Initially, however, the ferrite is idealized to be a perfect magnetic conduc-

tor (G r ®) and, later, appropriate changes are made to account for the finite-

ness of the value of the permeability of the ferrite material.

3. FERRITE AS A PERFECT MAGNETIC CONDUCTOR

The analogy between the ferrite antenna and the dipole antenna is based

on the dual property of electric and raagnetic field vectors in Maxwell's

equations

case the value of its dielectric constant C is immaterial in view of the na-r

ture of the driving source. Figure l(b) shows the mathematical model of the

antenna. Region I is the ferrite with parameters Or' Er k, and region II is

free space with constitutive parameters vO, co and wave number k Because0,

of the nature of the driving source and azimuthal symmetry, the non-zero com-

ponents of the fields are 11z, Up and E A time dependence of the form

exp(-iwt) is assumed. Because of the assumption r , Hz and Hl vanish in

region I. The ferrite is also assumed to be homogeneous and isotropic. Thus

the idealized driving source is taken into account by setting

there is no free charge, Maxwell's equations reduce to

The integral equation (14) for the magnetic current on a finite, infi-

similar integral equation fl, eq.(3.2.23)] for the electric current on a fi-

nite dipole antenna made up of a perfect metallic conductor. Comparing the

integral eouations for the two cases, one fin,4s that the driving voltage Ve

and the free space characteristic impedance 0 in the electric dipole case

are replaced by the deiving cutrent I e and the free space characteristic ad-

mittance (li/ 0 ) in the magnetic case. Commonly used metals like copper and

brqss are foutd to have sufficiently large electrical conductivities to justi-

fy the assumption of vanishing electric field inside the material of the di-

pole antenna so that an integral equation of the form (14) is adequate and

has been used to obtain the electric current distributioni. Furthermore, if

.tore accuracy is required, theories de exist for imperfectly conducting cy-

lindrical transmitting antennae. However, it Is questionable whether the in-

tegral equation (14) is directly applicable to the practical ferrite rod an-

tenna due to the relative permeability ranges of available ferrites. Whereas

the treatment of the imperfectly conducting dipole antenna is done for reasons

of improved accuracy, a similar treatment (vt larse but not infintte) for the

ferrite antznna appears to be a necessity. This forms the sublect of Section

i + !5.

4. MAGNETIC CURRENT ON AN INFINITE ANTENNA

The magnetic current I (z) obtained by solving the integral equation (14)

may be called a zeroth-order solution because of the assumption Or = The

integral equation (14) is for a finite antenna from which the zeroth-order

solution IQ(z) for an antenna of infinite length may be obtained. For the

sake of convenience, the integral equation is rewritten as

Equation (18) is thus an explicit expression in the form of an infinite inte-

gral for the current on an infinitely long, infinitely permeable, ferrite rod

antenna.

The problem of infinitely long ferrite rod antennas was formulated pre-

viously [2] in terms of differential equations and the Fourier transform of

this current was obtained, from (2, eq.(23)], to be

k, and k0 are the wave numbers in the ferrite and the surrounding free space

be obtained from (19) by taking the limit o .

Thus, equations (20) and (18) are both independently derived explicit expres-

sions for the zeroth-order (ir - o) magnetic currents on an infinitely lung

ferrite rod antenna. In the limit of infinite permeability the two formula-

tions give the same result. This limit is, however, physically unrealizable

since a magnetic material with ur - does not exist and, hence, a modifica-

tion of the formulation which treats the ferrite as an imperfect magnetic

conductor is .equired. This modification has, once again, an analogue in the

electric case in the treatment of the imperfectly conducting cylindrical

transmitting antenna [3), (4].

cylindrical magnetic conductor of circular cross section of radius a with its

axis along the z-axis of a system of cylindrical coordinates (o,4,z) may be

defined by

tenna due to King, Harrison and Aronson [4] have been modified for use on the

IBM 370/155 computer system of the Joint Harvard/M.I.T. Batch Processing Cen-

ter. Appendix B includes a listing of the Fortran IV programs that compute

the magnetic current distribution and the admittance of the finite ferrite-

rod antenna when the ferrite is treated as an imperfect magnetic conductor.

6. THE LIMITATIONS OF THE THEORETICAL FORMULATION

The present formulation is based on an analogy between the ferrite-rod

antenna and the conducting cylindrical dipole antenna. Because of the symme-

try in Maxwell's equations, a set of scalar magnetic (0*) and electric vector

(P) potentials was defined and used in formulating the finite ferrite-rod

antenna problem. It is considered useful to determine the existence of these

potentials for the infinite antenna and thus provide some justification for

their use in the finite antenna problem.

The electromagnetic fields in both regions for the case of the infinite-

ly long antenna were determined previously [2] to be:

The potentials of (59) and (60) can also be obtained from the electro-

magnetic fields of (55) and (56) by making use of the following relationships

in both regions:

E (pz) = (l/r)aAe(p,z)/3z ; Hz(p,z) -a4 (p,z)/3z + iwAe(pz)

and

3Aze(p ,z)/~z - *-D iWCO (p,z) = 0

The above analysis verifies that when the antenna is infinitely long,

both the scalar magnetic and electric vector potentials exist. They are both

discontinuous across the antenna surface and satisfy respective wave equations,

appropriate boundary conditions, and the gauge condition.

In the case of the finite antenna, however, a precise knowledge of the

vector potential in the two regions is not necessary to derive an approximate

integral equation for the magnetic current. What is required is the electric

vector potential on the surface of the antenna. To determine this, an inter-

nal impedance per unit length is defined and used to obtain the three-term

solution for the magnetic current. Usinp the computer programs described and

listed in Appendix B, the magnetic current was evaluated for a range of param-

eters. The current distribution was studied as a function of the four inde-

pendent parameters, viz., ir'; p" or Q pr/pr; h/X or koh; and ak0 or Qr r r r 0 khadkof

2 Zn(2h/a). In this study the value of the dielectric constant of the fer-

rite was fixed at 10.

The ranges of the four parameters were as follows: Pr' 1 0, 100, 1000;r

Q.I lto Q 1 I00; h/X0 - .1 to h/A0 . .5; and ak0 . .001 to ak0 . .1. Typi-

cal results of the computations are shown plotted in Fig. 3. The quantities

!Pr ako, h/A 0 and 0 are varied, respectively, in Fig. 3a-d, while in each

case the remaining three paraneters are kept constant.

In Fig. 3a for fixed height, radius, and ratio 0, the magnetic current

on the antenna is seen to increase with the real part of the relative perme-

ability. A similar behavior is observed in Fig. 3b for increasing antenna

radius and fixed height, permeability and 0. A comparison between Fig. 3a

and Fig. 3d shows that a large value of viI produces a greater inc"-ase in ther

magnetic current than a high Q ratio; in fact, an increase in Q for Q < 50 is

seen to reduce the magnitude of the magnetic current. To interpret Fig. 3c,

it is useful to examine the behavior of the propagation constant k on the an-

tenna, given by

k - 6 + in - ko[l + i(4ziCO/kOIFdR) 1/2

If the dimensionless parameter 4 (

4Czmo/ko) is introduced, this expression

becomes

k = a + in - k0 (l + i$i/y )R1/2i dR

Despite the fact that dR is itself a function of k, an efficient iterative

method can be used to determine the value of the propagation constant. By

substituting for zia from (36) the following expression for i is obtained:

2iakI 0 (ak1)(ak0)x

1)

$I becomes positive imaginary for the cases plotted in Fig. 3c where ak1 is

real. This makes the propagation constant k on the antenna pure imaginary

which leads to an exponentially decreasing magnetic current. For most prac-

tical ferriteas the positive imaginary part of dominates, which makes the

attenuation constant a significantly larger than the phase constant B. This

can also be seen in the experimental results reported in Section 9.

Page 37: ELECTRICALLY HOMOGENEOUS AND ISOTROPIC FERRITE … · ferrite antenna by treating the ferrite rod as a good magnetic conductor. J Initially, however, the ferrite is idealized to be

-31-

At this stage it is considered useful to summarize all the approxima-

tions and assumptions involved in the derivation of the integral equation in

(38) with (39). The ferrite was first treated as a perfect magnetic conduc-

tor (•r " infinity) and the integral equation in (14) was obtained. This ex-

pression was later modified by adding an intrinsic impedance per unit length

for a practical ferrite that is an imperfect magnetic conductor and finite.

The basic assumption that the radius be small, i.e., ak <0 1, was made. An

implied approximation was introduced when the impedance per unit length z

derived originally for the infinitely long magnetic conductor, was used for

the finite antenna. Its use can be justified as follows. For an infinitely

long magnetic conductor, the transverse distribution of electric vector po-

tential is independent of the axial distribution. It is reasonable to assume

that this remains the case when the conductor length is large compared to the

radius, so that the intrinsic impedpmce per unit length derived for the infi-

nitely long conductor can be used directly for antennas of finite length. A

further question arises concerning the discontinuity of the electric vector

potential across the antenna surface. It has been established that the elec-

tric vector potential is discontinuous across the antenna surface when the

antenna is infinitely long. It is reasonable to conclude that the discontin-

uity exists even when the length of the antenna is finite. The derivation of

the integral equation for the magnetic current or the tangential electric

field requires a knowledge of the electric vector potential on the surface

p a, which has apparently two values. This problem is not peculiar to the

ferrite-rod antenna but also exists in the analogous resistive electric di-

pole antenna, In either case, the value of the vector potential used is that

obtained by approaching the antenna surface from the surrounding medium. It

is believed, however, that the discontinuity in the vector potential is ail I

Page 38: ELECTRICALLY HOMOGENEOUS AND ISOTROPIC FERRITE … · ferrite antenna by treating the ferrite rod as a good magnetic conductor. J Initially, however, the ferrite is idealized to be

-32-

consequence of the way in which the vector potential was defined and can be

overcome with the introduction of a suitable scale factor in the definition.

The approach of treating the ferrite as an imperfect magnetic conductor

relies on the mathematical equivalence of the two analogous problems. One

cannot escape the fact, however, that while there are two pieces of conductor

separated by a slice voltage or electric field generator in the case of an

electric dipole, the magnetic conductor in the ferrite problem is a single

continuous rod driven on the outside surface. A delta function, although un-

physical, is a mathematical convenience in either case.

In view of the above discussion, a more rigorous analysis which does not

invoke the analogy with the electric dipole is developed and presented in the

following section.

7. A MORE RIGOROUS TREATMENT OF THE FINITE ANTENNA

Since the total magnetic current Iz (z) is linearly related to the tan-

gential electric field E (a,z) by the relation

I* (z) --2 naF. (az)

the following procedure seeks to derive an integral equation for E (aez) by

solving the ferrite-interior and free space-exterior problems.

Interior Problem. The interior problem consists of a ferrite cylinder

of height 2h driven at the center by a constant-current loop. The driving

condition will be accounted for after the interior and exterior problemb are

solved. The diameter of the rod and of the loop is 2a and the restriction

ak0 << I is satisfied in order to maintain a constant current I0 in the driv-

then to require that their difference equal -16(z), the true electric sur-

to vanish on the top and bottom surfaces defined by Izi h and 0 < p < a,

thus neglecting all the fringing fields at the ends of the antenna. In prac-

tice, this condition nearly prevails for antennas with heights large compared

to the radius (h >> a).

Exterior Problem. The exterior problem is concerned with the free space

surrounding the ferrite rod which extends from (0 < P < a) and (-h < z < h)

for all 4. It is equivalent to solving the problem with the ferrite removed

but with the tangential electric field on the surface E (az) for Izi < h re-

quired to be the same as that used in the interior problem. With an assumed-ist

e time dependence, the governing equations are:

space, has the following boundary conditions valid for jz< h:

E (a+,z) = f+(z) E E 4(a,z) (66a)

If the Lorentz gauge is satisfied, the Lorentz factor X (and the right-hand

at hand. There is rotational symmetry in the problem and the non-zero quan-

tities are E and 0*. Equations (65a,b) for the different com-

If (71) is formally identified with (67h), it is seen that the second term on

the right in (71) corresponds to the Lorentz factor term. The Lorentz gauge

is satisfied (x - 0) in the exterior repion (p > a) but is not satisfied in

the interior region. Furthermore, by differentiating with respect to p

x v + -U00 (p,r)/3z - iwuoCOf*(pz)

it can be shown that x is independent of o and a function of x only, i.e..

X(z), which leads to.-

It is thus seen that the Lorentz condition is satisfied on the exterior

but not in the interior. This is because of the presence of the transverse

electric current in the ferrite medium. This situation can be contrasted to

an electric dipole antenna (thin or thick), where there are no magnetic cur-

rents to make the Lorentz condition invalid.

It is now required to solve (71) for the electric vector potential. The

The other equation to be satisfied simultaneously is (75), which is re-

produced here for convenience:

I " h- (iwjOcO/2) f dz' KW(z') 3Ml (z ',p) p (78b)

•I :-h p-a"

The two kernels K(z - z',p) and Ml(Z - z',p) appearing in the coupled inte-

gral equations above are defined by (72) and (73) respectively.

It cn he verified easily that in the limit h ,* the integrals in

(78a,b) become convolution integrals, that the two equations decouple and

that the expression for E (p,z) on the surface p = a is in complete agreement

with the results presented in Part I [2, Eqs. (17) or (18)].

Returning to the coupled integral equations in (78a,h), it is seen that

there are three kernels. First of all, the kernel on the right-hand side of

(78a) will be examined carefully. The kernel is made up of an infinite series

which is clearly divergent since, for large values of n, it behaves like n.

Although strictly not valid, the operations of summation and integration will

be interchanged for the purpose of examining the series. The interchange is

reversed at a later stage so that, in effect, all the steps ari valid.

It is convenient to define the kernel M(z,z') on the left-hand side of

(78a) as:

2 2)112 2 1/2

M(z,z') G • cos(pz') cos(pz) o 212 [a(k1 - p1) 11

where p - (n + l/2)s/h.

As was pointed out earlier, this series is divergent and, hence, it is

useful to write it as the sum of two series, using the first two terms in the

* ~ ..........

asymptotic form. For large values of n, the series behaves like

J (iap) I 0 (ap)Z cos(pz') cos(pz) (ia) (iap) -, cos(pz') cos(pz) y (ap)

I

-• cos(pz') cos(pz) (ap) 2 os(p') Cospz [ +• 1 a

8ap

We now write

M(zz') P(z,z') + Q(z,z') (79)

with

J0[a(k2 - p 2)i/2]0 1 2 2 1/2

(80)

and

Q(z,z') (ap + 1/2) cos(pz') cos(pz) (81)

Equation (79) along with (80) and (81) is exact because it only adds and sub-

tracts the first two terms in the asymptotic form. Now P(zz') can be writ-

tan as:

P(z,z') - • An cos(pz') cos(pz)

with An given by the term in the square brackets in (80).

If all the coefficients A wore equal, P(z,z') would be a delta function;

but this is not the case. In view of the differential operator on the left-

hand side of (78a), it is helpful to remove a similar factor from P(z,z'),

This is easily accomplished by solving an equation of the form:

( (2/z 2 + k2)f(z) cos(pz)0

Page 49: ELECTRICALLY HOMOGENEOUS AND ISOTROPIC FERRITE … · ferrite antenna by treating the ferrite rod as a good magnetic conductor. J Initially, however, the ferrite is idealized to be

it3Through the use of Green's function (or by any other method), one can obtain:

f(z) - a 1 coa(koz) + a 2 sin(koz) + (1/k0) f sin~k 0(z - z')Icos(pz') dz'I 0Note that, without any loss of generality, the constants a 1 and a 2 can be set

equal to zero and the integral on the right performed to obtain:

f(z) (cos(pz) -Cos(k~)/k 2 )2

so that

a2 2co ~Z) cos(k Z)

P(z,z') z- .+ k 0) A- i .- coa(pz') (82)

In (82) it appears that one of the terms in the series will be equal to infin-

ity if p - k0 . This condition is equivalent to h/A - 1/4, 3/4, 5/4,.....

This is not the case, however, because of the numerator end the fact that, as

p -* k0, the term in the square hrackets in (82) approaches [z sin(k z)1/2k.

Returning to (81), it is found that, since Q(z,zl) is an odd series, its

most divergent part is identically equal to zero, so that

Q(z~z') -(1/2) cos(pz') cos(pz) -(h/2)6(z -z') (83)

is discussed for kernel K(z - z') or R(&) is essentially true with the calcu-

lation of the elements corresponding to the three other kernels.

Referring back now to the three terms on the right-hand side of (87a),

viz.,

C6 cos(k 0z1 ) + C7 sin(k0 jzlI) + C8 fl dz' E (z') sink (Z- z')]0 7 ik 0(z10

the first and last terms, containing respectively the unknowns C6 and E (z),

are moved to the left-hand side. For example,

C6 cos(kozI) - C6 cosokG(21 - 2)t]

C8 f dz C 8 - C8 f z ] C81 + + + C dz't0 0 t (21-3)t

We now define

PtA(I,P) I sin(k0 (z - z') dz' ( (1/k 0 ){cosakot(21 - P - 2))

(P'-l) t

- cos(k 0 t(21 - P - 1)])

It is seen that when the term associated with C8 is moved to the left-

hand side, it affects only th6 lower triangle elements of K1 (1,J) and not the

upper triangle elements, thus renderi•g the K(IJ) matrix elements not equal.

9. EXPERIMENTAL MEASUPRMENT OF THE MAMNETIC CURRENT

The magnetization current is essentially the time rate of change of the

magnetization vector (A) integrated over the antenna cross section. The ex-

perimental procedure, however, determines the total axial magnetic flux with

the use of a shielded loop placed coaxially over a driven loop which is loaded

by a ferrite cylinder. Suitable modifications to the theory have to be made,

therefore, before the computations can be compared with the experimental re--

sults. These modifications and the assumption of azimuthal symmetry on which

they are based are discussed in detail in Appendix D.

Ferrite materials that are available coimmercially have been used in this

experimental Investigation. Table 1 lists the initial permeability a' (i.e.,

the slope of the B-H curve for small H) and the applicable frequency range

for a variety of ferrite materials, grouped under their respective suppliers.

Ferrites #C-2050 of Ceramic Magnetics, Inc. and #Q-3 of Indiana General were

selected for use in the 5-100 M1Hz frequency range. Toroidal samples of thle

#C-2050 material were obtained and its properties (p' and Q) measured as a

function of frequency by means of a Q-meter. The quality factor Q of the

ferrite material is defined by

1 "2V X stored energy 88)Q "lOSS factor r r energy dissipated per period, 271w

The measured vsluru of Q and a' for the ferrite material #C-2050 are shownr

plotted in Fig. 4(a) as a function of frequency together with the values

supplied by the manufacturer. Fair agreement is observed between the two.

The imaginary part ii" of the relative permeability can be calculated easilyr

using (88) and measured values of u, snd 0. 11Te manufacturer-supplied values

of p' and O for the ferrite material 00-3 are shown in Fig. 4(h). The valuesr

also supplied by the manufacturers. It can be seen from Fig. 4(a) that the

value of Q for the ferrite material #C-2050 is nearly constant (2!00) up to

abouL 2 Mflz and then falls off rapidly to less than 10% of this value at 20

MIz. Similarly for the material #Q-3, Fig. 4(b) indicates a nearly constant

value of Q (_500) up to about 15 Mbiz, beyond which it decays to %_50 at 200

Three antenna cores were fabricated, as photographed in Fig. 5(a)-(c).

Cores (a) and (b) are made of material #C-2050, while core (c) is made of

material #Q-3. Cylindrical rods of 5/16" diameter and 5.25" height were used

along with adhesive tape to fabricate core (a) of 2" overall diameter and 21"

height. Core (b) has the same height as core (a) but is comprised of five

cylindrical rods of I" diameter and varying lengths. Core (c) is formed from

three cylindrical rods of .625" diameter and 7.5" length for a total height of

22.5". As was pointed out earlier, cores (a) and (b) are useful for frequen-

cies up to about 20 14hz, core (c) up to 200 MIz.

The three cores were used in various antenna configurations in which an

"electrically samll loop antenna is loaded by a finite cylindrical ferrite rod.

"'he antentla parameters for the eleven different cases are tabulated in Table 2.

For antennas numbered I through 3, measurements were made at frequencies of

i0, 50 and 100 MHz, respectively. The electrical radius ak0 of the driven

loop raeges from .00166 to .01662. Antennas numbered 4 through 7 were oper-

ated at frequencies of 5, 10, 15 and 20 Millz, respectively; the electrical

radius ranged from .00132 to .00531. The operating frequencies for antennas

numbered 8 through 11 were the same as for the previous set but the radius

"was doubled.

It can be seen in Table 2 that the value of ak 0 does not exceed 0.017

for any of the eleven antennas. This ensures the validity of the assumption

that the driven loop be electrically thin in the theoretical calculation of

antenna currents. The height of the monopole antenna (h/X 0 ) ranges from

.00444 to .09525 so that the longest dipole is nearly (1/5)-wavelength long.

The value of the relative permeability Ur - Jir from Fig. 4 and the in-

iternal impedance zm per unit length calculated using equation (36) are also

listed in Table 2. In this section an ejwt time dependence is implicit and

is more convenient. Due account of this change in notation has been taken

iin using (36) to calculate zm. It is observed that for all antennas consid-

ered, the internal impedance is largely reactive.

For each of the three ferrite cylindrical cores described above, a set

of driven and measuring loops was fabricated. A photograph and represents-

tive line drawing showing the construction of the loops are shown in Fig. 6.

The six loops were all constructed from commercially available microcoaxial

cables ending in a modified BNC connector. The driven and measuring loops

are placed coaxially in the experimental setup, as can be seen in the photo-

graph in Fig. 7 and the block diagram in Fig. 8. The short lengths of micro-

coaxial transmission lines leading away from the two loops are at right

angles to one another in the horizontal plane so that any inductive coupling

between the two is minimized. The signal source used in this experiment was

either a 61R-1001A (5-50 Mhz) or an )IP-32000 (10-500 Mhz) oscillator. When

the CR-lOOlA oscillator was used for measurements with antennas #4 through

11, the power amplifier was not needed. The HP-230B power amplifier was

used only in conjunction with the |IP-3200B oscillator for measurements on an-

tennas 01 through #3. The source frequency was accurately measured using an

IIP-5240 electronic counter. A signal proportional to the total axial magnet-

ic field was induced in the receivinp loop. An IIP-8405A vector voltmeter was

used to detect and record this signal (B). The reference signal (A) to the

vector voltmeter was provided from a coaxial T. The vector-voltmeter read-

ings were recorded as a function of the axial distance z from the driving

loop. In this manner the amplitude and phase of the magnetic current distri-

bution were obtained for the eleven antenna configurations described in

Table 2. The unnormalized data are given in Table C-2 of Appendix C.

Computer programs, described and listed in Appendices A and B, were

utilized in calculating the magnetic current distributions for the eleven

cases. As discussed earlier, the theoretical calculations are based on a

treatment of the ferrite rod as an imperfect magnetic conductor. The theo-

retical and experimental current distributions are shown graphically in Figs.

9 through 11. Also appearing in Figs. 9 - 11 are Tables 3, 4 and 5, respec-

tively; these show the calculated values of input admittance Y = Iz(0)/lIz 0

(G + JB)* ohms and input impedance 7. = l/Y* mhos. The antenna numberinp

scheme used in the figures and tables corresponds to that given in Table 2.

The values of Q - 2 Wn(2h/a) for the antennas in Firs. 9 - 11 are, respec-.

tively, 8.5534, 7.4754 and 6.089.

The agreement between the theory and experiment is seen to be good. The

antennas used here are relatively short and, consequently, the current dis-

tribution is seen to be nearly triangular. As may be expected, the largest

deviation of the experimental values from the theoretical computations occurs

at either end of the antenna (z/h - 0, 1) s•d especially at the driving point.

For this reason the raw experimental data were :tormalized in most cases to

the theoretical calculations at a point nearly a third the distance from the

driving point to the end of the antenna. In the case of antennas 01 and P2,

there appears to be a kink in the experimental values for the phase of the

current distribution. This is believed to be due to the stacking of individ-

ual ferrite rods by means of adhesive tape, This is not seen in the magnitude

curves because of the relatively low magnitude values. The overall agreement

of the theory and experiment was used in deciding the point of normalization.

The coupled integral equations in (86a,b) in the two variables, the tan-

gential electric field E (z) and circumferential electric current 1 (z), were

solved numerically by the moment method on a Sigma-7 computer system. The

method itself has been discussed in Section 8; the computer programs are

listed in Appendix C. Table 6 contains a description of all the subroutines

used in this computation. The basic philosophy of this method is to reduce

the set of coupled integral equations to a system of linear algebraic equa-

tions. The standard routines [61 for solving a system of linear equations

were modified to handle complex variables. The results of these computations

are plotted in Figs. 12 through 14. As before, the experimental data have

been normalized at a point approximately or.e third the distance from the

driving point (z - 0) to the end.

The magnetic current I*(z) is easily obtained from the solution for the

tangential electric field using the relation I (z)- -2naE (z) volts per unitA *

current In the driving loop. The input parameters Y and Z are also tabu-

lated end the tables are included in the figures showing the magnitude and

phase of the magnetic current. In all eleven cases the phase is nearly con-

stant, since the antennas are electrically short in free space, and most of

the magnetic current is in phase quadrature. The agreement between the ex-

periment and the theoretical calculations is very good Including near the

source. This was to be expected because the coupled integral equations

(86ab) in two variables comprise a far more accurate and independent theo-

retical formulation of the problem than the approxiiate integral equation

(39) which relies rather heavily on an analogy between the ferrite rod an-

tenna and the resistive cylindrical dipole antenna.

10. SUGMARY

An electrically small loop that carries a constant current and is loaded

by a homogeneous and isotropic ferrite rod has been called the ferrite-rod

antenna. In Part I [2] of this report the ferrite rod was assumed to be of

infinite length and the problem was treated using a boundary-value approach.

In a practical situation, however, the antenna is necessarily finite and

often electrically short so that a new mathematical formulation was needed,

* [ along with an experimental investigation, for the problem of a finite ferrite

* Erod antenna. With this current distribution known precisely, other quanti-

ties of interest can be derived from it.

Although, in terms of physical mechanisms, the ferrite-rod antenna can be

compared with the dielectric rod antenna, there exists a complete analogy be--

tween the ferrite antenna and the conducting cvlindrical dipole antenna.

This analogy is based on the dual property of electric and magnetic vectors

in Maxwell's equations. The electric dipole antenna has received consider-

able attention from researchers in the past and, therefore, a treatment of

the 'magnetic analog' of the dipole antenna is considered useful. Based on

this analogy, an integral equation has been derived for the magnetic current

on the finite ferrite-rod antenna. As expected, the integral equation is

identical in form to the corresponding equation for the electric current on

the dipole antenna. This derivation was based on the assumption that the

value of the relative permeability Ur of the ferrite material equals infinity.

In effect, the ferrite is treated as a perfect magnetic conductor aq when in

the 'electric case' the antenna material is assumed to have an infinite elec-

trical conductivity a. However, in practice, a material with "r equal to in--

finity does not exist and, furthermore, over a useful frequency range the nr

value is not high enouRh to justify using the perfect conductor approximation.

S~.*----- -..,**....,

Page 79: ELECTRICALLY HOMOGENEOUS AND ISOTROPIC FERRITE … · ferrite antenna by treating the ferrite rod as a good magnetic conductor. J Initially, however, the ferrite is idealized to be

For this reason, the integral equation had to be modified. The modification

was achieved by defining the internal impedance per unit length of the magne-

tic conductor to be the ratio of the tangential magnetic field to the total

magnetic current flowing in the magnetic conductor. An approximate, 3-term

expression for the magnetic current was then obtained in a manner paralleling

the procedure used by King and Wu to solve for the electric current on the

imperfectly conducting dipole antenna. It was found that for commercially

available ferrites the internal impedance per unit length was largely reac-

tive so that the propagation constant k (- 6 + in) on the antenna had a large

imaginary part. The predominance of the attenuation constant a makes the

magnetic current very small and, thus, one is led to conclude that the prac-

tical ferrite-rod antenna is not a very efficient radiator.

The treatment of the ferrite-rod antenna as an analog of the resistive

electric dipole antenna relies rather heavily on the mathematical equivalence

of the two problems under idealized driving conditions. For this reason, an

alternative derivation of the integral equation for the tangential electric

field o• the ferrite surface was developed. This derivation led to a pair of

coupled integral equations in terms of the tangential electric field and tan-

gential electric surface current. The coupled integral equations were solved

numerically by the moment method and the magnetic current obtained from the

tangential electric field. It was also verified that in the limit h . - the

equations decouple and are in complete ap.reement with the results of the

theory for the infinite antenna.

Since the magnetic current is proportional to the total axial magnetic:; field, a simple experimental apparatus was built to measure the magnetic cur-

rent distributicn on several antenna configurations. A praphical comparison

of the theoretical and experimental results has been presented. Although the

three-term solution has been shown to give good results for antenna lengths

k h < 5m/4, the antennas used in the experiment were much shorter &nd the0-

near-triangular distribution of currents was verified. The frequency re-

sponse of the properties of available ferrite materials and the practical

limitations on the size of the ferrite rods made it difficult to construct

antennas of longer length.

In conclusion, while ferrites have been used extensively at microwave

frequencies and up to several MegaHertz, the fact that ferrites are now be-

coming commercially available in the range 30 - 300 Mdz should lead to useful

applications. In situations in which the physical size of the antenna must

be kept small, a loop antenna has limited usefulness because of its low effi-

ciency and radiation resistance. The insertion of a suitable ferrite core

offers the advantage of both improved efficiency and increased radiation re-

sistance. Although, in theory, an increased radiation resistance should sim-

plify the problem of matching the antenna to its associated circuit, in prac-

tice there remains a severe pronolem, This has been discussed by Dropkin,

Motzer and Cacheris (71 who made measuremenits of the receiving characteris-

tics of a cylindrical ferritc-rod antenna at a freeuency of 75 MIz. They

conclude that both ferrite-core and air-core loops can be described by simi-

lav equivalent circuits. These circuits have resonant properties and each of

the lumped circuit elements can be identified with a physical quantity char-

acterizing the antenna. The improved efficiency and the increaaed radiation

resistance which were determined experimentally can be attributed directly to

an increased magnetic flux passing through the loop. Thev also make the in-

teresting observation that with a dielectric cylinder (rr - i0, 1 1 r '), the

size of the ferrite used had no effect on the air-loop properties. This was

because the loop used was small enough to act as a magnetic dipole.

APPENDIX C

This appendix opens with two tables containing experimental information.

The first, Table C-1, lists the values of the various antenna constants (di-

mensions, ferrite characteristics, frequency, etc.) for the eleven antenna

configurations studied experimentally. Table C-2 gives the raw measures data

(unnormalized) for the magnetic current distributionson the eleven antennas

as a function of z.

The appendix concludes with a listing of the computer programs used to

solve the coupled integral equations in (86a,b). The procedure used, i.e.,

the moment method, was discussed briefly in Section 8. The coupled integral

equations are reduced to a system of linear algebraic equations which are

then solved for the unknown variables. An unknown constant in the integral

equation is also determined in the numerical procedure by imposing the end

condition at z - 11. The magnetic current I1(z) is easily computed from the

solution of the tangential electric field E (z) by using Iz (z) -2maE(Z)

"volts per unit current in the driving loop.

APPENDIX D

BASIS FOR MORE ACCURATE COMPARISON OF THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS

With reference to Fig. 8, the voltage V(z) induced in the receiving loop

is proportional to the tangential electric field, viz.,

V(z) = f Bz dS - -2uaE 4 (a,z)

This relation, however, assumes that there is azimuthal syassetry and that the

current in the receiving loop is negligible. These assumptions are investi-

gated in detail.

Azimuthal Symmetry. The value of ak0 for the eleven cases studied in

the experiment ranges from .00133 to .01662, whereas lak1I has values between

.02 to about .41. It is well known that a loop in free space ha& nearly con-

stant current if ak 0, 1 .1. If this criterion is applied, all of the eleven

cases are rotationally symmetric. However, if Iak1 j < .1 is the criterion,

rotational symmetry is clearly absent in some of the cases. Because of the

unique locution of the driving loop on the surface p - a, a simple analytical

criterion on the radius is not possible to ensure rotational symmetry. For

this reason, rotational symmetry was ensured experimentally.

As shown in Fig. V,-1, a shielded loop of 3/16 in. diameter was fabri-

cated and used to measure the voltage induced by the radial magnetic field as

a function of azimuthal coordinate for eight of the eleven coses. The larg-

aet deviation from a constant clue was found to be less than 51. The three

antennas not tested had lower values of jakl than those tested. The experi-

mental measurements established rotational symmetry conclusively for all of

the cases considered in the experimental study.

Measurements were then made of the total axial magnetic current on a

dielectric rod made of Teflon, as shown in Fig. D-l(c). The experimental

parameters are summarized below:

Diameter of the driven loop 1.0. inch

Diameter of the Teflon rod 1.0 inch

Diameter of loop for axI.al measurements - 1.0 inch

Diameter of loop for radial measurements = 3/16 inch

Frequency = 20 MHz

The axial magnetic current distribution was measured with and without the

Teflon rod present. The results are tabulated in Table D-1 and plotted in

Fig. D-2. As one might expect, the dielectric rod (c r - 2.2) has very little

effect, and the measurements taken with it present do not differ significant-

ly from those taken with it absent. In-both cases, rotational symmetry was

confirmed experimentally. The characteristics of the Teflon rod antenna are

similar to those of the air-core antenna because the loop used in the experi-

ment was small enough to act as a magnetic dipole.

Correction to Experimental Data. An answer was then sought to the im-

portent question, what is the voltage V(z) induced at the terminals of the

receiving loop? The receiving loop is loaded by the vector voltmeter which

ihas a nominal impedance of 100 K-ohms shunted by a 2.5 pf capacitor. The

frequency in this experiment varies from 5 to 150 Miz so that the vector

voltmeter impedance has a range of values. An analysis based on circuit

theory can be carried out to determine accurately the voltage V R(z) measured

by the vector voltmeter. A diagram of the two coupled circuits is in Fig.

D-3. The various quantities shown in the figure are:

The theoretical computations from the integral equation account only for

the mutual coupling and ignore the generator impedance 7g the loading of the

receiver by the vector voltmeter impedance ZL' and the change in the current

in the transmitting loop due to the nearness of the receiving loop. The cor-

rection terms can be identified in (D-3) as follows:

v R VR(Z)m d C1 X C2 x C3 (z) (D-4)(z measured Icalculated

where

C . Correction due to generator impedance.

C2 - Correction due to the loading of the vector voltmeter.

C3 (z) - Correction due to secondary coupling (Lenz's Law).

It is observed that the correction terms CI and C2 are independent of the

separation between the tdo loops. Since the measured VR(z) is only relative

in the present study, C3 (z) is the only correction factor which is oignifi-

cant. It is (from the right-hand term in (D-3)]:

C3 1 -t Z- M(z)/(Zs+ Z )(7M + ZL)

As a first approximation the generator impedance Z is set equal to zero. Z

is the impedance of the vector voltmeter transferred to the pap in the receiv-

ing loop. The impedance of the vector voltmeter is composed of a 100 k-ohm

resistor shunted by a 2.5 pf capacitanceviz.,

An approximate value for C3 (z) can now be computed using (D-5) with Zg

set equal to zero. However, ZM - the mutual impedance between two loops that

are in the near zone of one another - is still unknown. An excellent analy-

sis of the mutual impedance of two loops in air is available [8). In the

present case, however, the mutual impedance is required when the ferrite is

present. If the permeability U. in King's analysis [8] is replaced by the

permeability vI of the ferrite, an approximate value for the mutual impedance

is obtained, viz.,

Fortran IV computer programs for computing the elliptic functions were

available in the Scientific •uhrouttne PacN:, of IB" 3((). luS, Lite correc-

tion factor C3 (z) was computed as a function of the separation distance z us-i3ing equations (D-5), (D-6) and (D-7). This factor was then used to correct

the experimental data for a comparison with the theoretical results. A typi-

cal comparison of the theory with corrected and uncorrected experimental data

is shown in Fig. D-4 for the specific case of antenna #6. The uncorrected

experimental data depart from the theoretical curve rear the drivine point,

0 < t/h < .25. The vector voltmeter impedance ZL at the gap for the antenna

configuration under consideration (antenna 1f16) is 7L . 2.88 - J534.7 ohms.

The corrected experimental data obtained when this value of 7 is used to

compute the correction factor are plotted in Fip. D-4 and are neen to deviate

less from the theory than the uncorrected values, The correction factor does

not account for the entire discrepancy, however. This is in part because of

the approximations made in computing the correction factor and in part be-

caust. of the lack of an accurate value for 7. For this reasotn, the correc-

tion factor wal also computed for a ranpe of real and imaginary parts of Z

Two representative cases are shown in Fig. P-4. htey illustrate that a pre-

cise knowledge of could improve the accuracy of the correction factor ap-

plied to the experimental data enld, thus, minimize the discrepancy with

theory near the driving point. Away from the driving point (z/h .25) the

agreement is seen to be very pood.
