27. University of Split, FESB CONCLUSIONS Results of simulation and measurements are in good agreement. Changes in the antenna polarisation and height has very limited impact on maximum value of voltage that can be induced across the wire termination in the formulated problem. The impact of the termination configuration and layout of the measuring cable should be taken into consideration more deeply. The calculated and measured maximum value of voltage across the 150 Ohm termination is within limits of 6-12% of the antenna excitation value.
