The waveforms radiated by linear antennas loaded nonuniformly and continuously with resistance are investigated analytically. The antennas considered are symmetrical and excited at the centers by slice generators having a Gaussian pulse type of time dependence. Closed form expressions are developed for the far‐field waveforms produced by such antennas in any direction. The analytical results are compared with those obtained by direct numerical means.
