The problem of an electric line source above a conducting earth is investigated. Approximations to the integrals appearing in the solution of the problem are considered. An estimate of the neglected terms is given and interpretation of their physical resemblance is presented. The analysis does not restrict the relative magnitudes of earth and air propagation constants as in previous work. It is shown that the approximation presented is legitimate for far field computation and the results are comparable to those known for the quasi-static limit.

It is shown that the influence of the homogeneous conducting half-space can be represented approximately in terms of an image source located at a complex depth.

The far-field pattern characteristics of line sources lying between the slabs of a four-dielectric substrate configuration are presented. The patterns are calculated for several cases of the substrate thickness as well as for several line-source locations. The considerations that are made give useful applications in remote sensing and microstrip antennas.

This thesis presents the introduction, analysis and experimental verification of the six-pulse SCR rectifier and multi-pulse SCR rectifiers. As a fundamental three-phase controllable ac-dc converter, the six-pulse SCR rectifier is widely used in industry. However, it generates high Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in the line current. One of the solutions is to use multi-pulse rectifiers. Multi-pulse rectifiers could be classified into the 12-, 18-, and 24-pulse configurations. Application examples include high voltage direct current transmission systems, high power battery chargers and load commutated current source inverter powered motor drives. In this thesis, the six-, 12-, 18- and 24-pulse SCR rectifiers with inductive and capacitive loads are introduced. The line current THD and the input PF of various rectifiers are investigated. The principle of the harmonic elimination through phase-shifting transforms is analyzed by Fourer analysis and positive/negative sequence analysis. The experimental verification is accomplished on a prototype of the 12-pulse SCR recitifier.
