Abstract
This chapter addresses the problem of antenna analysis for radiating structures located at the vicinity of one or several infinite interfaces between different media. In the first stage, it is shown how the field integral equations shall be modified in order to take the interface into account and how the Sommerfeld integral calculation can be implemented in an efficient way. The propagation problem of the radiated field over an irregular interface is then addressed. The results obtained are presented for a typical bi-conical HF antenna.
