Behavior of the long wire antenna close to the modified conductive ground

Calculate the radiation pattern of the long wire (non resonant radiation) near to the conductive surface including modified decelerating ground structures. Follow also gain, impedance matching and polarization properties of such antenna. Realize the theoretical study and model, make an experimental structure to verify the radiation pattern.
