The current distribution on a half‐wave dipole antenna embedded in a conducting half space is investigated. The dipole antenna is parallel to the plane of the interface between the two media. It is illuminated by a diffracted inhomogeneous plane wave with perpendicular magnetic field vector. The current distribution is found mainly cosinusoidal with a shifted cosine correction term. A numercial analysis is given for the case where the dissipative medium has average earth constants. variations of the current due to different angles of incidence are also investigated.
