This paper presents the results of experiments with shunt- and series-excitation of a 0.55 wave, uniform cross-section, vertical radiator. Both unattenuated field strength at one mile and fading characteristics at remote points were determined for each mode of excitation. Whilst Morrison and Smith have already done similar work with a non-uniform cross-section tower, this is the first attempt to examine the fading of a uniform cross-section tower excited in the two modes.

The approximate current distribution with height in vertical tower antennae of non-uniform cross section is calculated by assuming that the cross section is that of a cylinder whose diameter changes discontinuously. The field strength distribution in the vertical plane is then calculated for this current distribution and compared with field measurements of Ballantine. This is repeated using the experimentally determined current distribution of Gihring and Brown which results in a much closer check with Ballantine's measurements.The results were then used to calculate the field strength distribution in the vertical plane of an array comprising a 0.597λ vertical double-tapered tower as radiator, and a 0.250λ vertical tower of the self-supporting type as a fed reflector.

Abstract This paper calls attention to a new method of dealing with deflections of beams, the cross sections of which vary by steps. It is shown that the effect of this variation on the shape of the deflection curve can be represented by a properly chosen force system acting on a beam of uniform cross section. There is no approximation involved in this substitution, whereby the original problem is reduced to one of computing deflections of beams of constant cross section.
