Description
Abstract:	The gamma match is a matching device which permits direct connection of a one-piece antenna element to a coaxial transmission line by adjustment of the physical dimensions of the gamma match. In this study, a mathematical expression is derived for the input impedance of a gamma-matched dipole antenna situated in free space. The currents in the gamma match are divided into their antenna type (symmetrical) and transmission-line type (antisymmetrical) components by use of the principle of linear superposition. The resulting expression for the gamma-matched dipole antenna's input admittance is the sum of two terms - a radiation term and a transmission-line term. ...
