We have obtained a general, numerical solution of an ideal biconical transmitting antenna, with arbitrary arm length and conic angle. The solution evaluates the field coefficients associated with the electric multipolar expansion terms both within the antenna region and external to it; the set must necessarily be truncated, and we truncate our set with 16 terms. From the field coefficients we obtain surface current and charge densities resulting from a normalized input current, for several antennas. We evaluate resonant frequencies versus cone angle for the first three resonances. Using a normalized input voltage, we obtain the complex power at all radii; conservation of energy, in turn, permits us to solve for the reactive energy of the field per unit radius.
