Excitation of a homogeneous dielectric sphere by a point electric dipole

Abstract

Electrically small dielectric antennas are of great interest for modern technologies, since they can significantly reduce the physical size of electronic devices for processing and transmitting information. We investigate the influence of the resonance conditions of an electrically small dielectric spherical antenna with a high refractive index on its directivity and analyze the dependence of these resonances on the effectively excited modes of the dielectric sphere.
