Abstract
The general argument of the thesis is that the design of broadband antennas demands a thorough
understanding of the factors influencing the current distribution on antenna wires. Specifically.
current distribution concepts are used to improve the evaluation and design of small
broadband antennas for the high frequency (HF) 2 to 30 MHz range. The current distribution
on an antenna governs its input impedance, radiation efficiency and radiation patterns. (Abbreviation abstract)
