Using the Bouwkamp impedance theorem, the radiation resistance and reactance can be found by inserting
Eq. (13.320) into Eqs. (
13.271) and (
13.272) respectively to give
where
R
s
is the specific radiation resistance in N·s/m
3 (rayl). The bold
R
indicates that the quantity varies with frequency, and
X
s
is the specific radiation reactance in N·s/m
3 (rayl). Substituting
t
=
sin
θ in Eqs. (
13.321) and (
13.322) yields

Eq. (13.323) can be found by substituting
s
=
sin
ϕ and expanding the sinc functions using
A somewhat more complicated evaluation of the integrals in
Eq. (13.324) is given in Ref.
[40]. Firstly, the sine squared terms have to be expanded into cosine terms using Eqs. (A2.46) and (A2.50) from
Appendix II. Then the infinite integral is evaluated before
expanding the resulting Bessel and Struve functions. The range of the remaining finite integral has to be split into two at
lx/l2x+l2y−−−−−√
yielding
fm(q)=F12(1,m+12;m+32,11+q2)+F12(1,m+12;m+32,11+q−2)(2m+1)(1+q−2)m+1/2+12m+3∑mn=0gmn(q),
