Near fields of wire antennas by matrix methods

Abstract

The method of moments [1], [2] is applied to wire antenna near-field problems. Within the general method, two computational procedures are developed. Results of these are compared with those of certain approximate analytical techniques and also with those of other investigators. A treatment for junctions is outlined. Examples are included for a single dipole antenna, for linear arrays of dipoles and also for loop and <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">T</tex> -junction radiators.
