Definition: an hypothetical antenna symmetrical with an actual antenna with respect to a plane, and traversed by electric currents of the same instantaneous value as the actual currents at the points of symmetry, the current components having the same direction as the actual currents when normal to the plane and the opposite directions when parallel

NOTE – The combination of the actual antenna and the image antenna will produce the same radiation pattern above the plane as the combination of the actual antenna and the plane if the latter is a perfect conductor and is infinite in extent.
