Analysis of Finite Phased Arrays of Narrow Slots using

The SIN performance of aperiodic monoples is easily evaluated for any frequency range using the formulas derived herein. An aperiodic monople covering the entire HF band (3-30 mHz) has performance several decibels below external noise limitations even for amplifier noise as low as 2.5 dB. Other factors, such as the large intrinsic noise bandwidth and component damage due to precipitation static and lightning discharges, have not been considered. The results apply only when the amplifier is located at the monopole terminal; cable capacity or tuninglloading will invalidate both the performance and analysis.
