Monopole antenna on a finite plate
Two differences with respect to the previous case :
Create a line with extremities at : (0 0 0) and (0 0 0.25)
Create a disk with :

or alternatively with the menu Geometry => Create = > Object => Circle
Enter the coordinates of the center : (0 0 0)
and the radius : 1
The obtained geometry :

Set the frequency to 300 MHz
Assign surface properties on the disk plate with
:

Assign an antenna property to the wire (same default radius as in the previous example).
Define the voltage source at the first point (0 0 0)
Define a short-circuit as the same point using 

Then Generate the Mesh, Save and Run Icare
The computed far field pattern :

and the computed input impedance :
