An Exact Solution for the Generalized Spherical Orthogonality Integral of the Legendre Functions of the First and Second Kind
Keywords:
Orthogonality integral, spherical boundary conditionAbstract
An exact formulation of a generalized orthogonality integral for the spherical boundary condition is proposed. This integral usually appears in the problems contained in conical and biconical antennas. The analytical results are successfully validated through a comparison with the numerical results.
