Transient analysis of multielement wire antennas mounted on arbitrarily shaped perfectly conducting bodies

Abstract

This paper presents a novel algorithm for analyzing transient radiation from multielement wire systems mounted on arbitrarily shaped, three‐dimensional, perfectly conducting bodies. The algorithm simultaneously characterizes the transient radiation properties of the antenna and the performance of the feed network via a hybrid integral‐equation/finite difference scheme. Numerical examples that validate and demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed scheme are presented.
