short antenna

[′shȯrt an‚ten·ə]

(electromagnetism)

An antenna shorter than about one-tenth of a wavelength, so that the current may be assumed to have constant magnitude along its length, and the antenna may be treated as an elementary dipole.

Hansen concludes that four areas appear to offer performance advantages: (1) arrays above 5 GHz will certainly benefit from low resistance; (2) the matching of electrically short antennas, both small (high frequency) and large (low frequency), will permit significant efficiency improvements; (3) and (4) application of thin film slow-wave structures in phasers and traveling wave arrays also are potential applications that could profit from superconductivity.
