Methods of Moments Applications. Volume V. Thin Wire Antenna Analysis Computer Codes Compared with Measured Data.
Abstract
The method of moments is applied to various wire antenna problems for the purpose of investigating the following trade-offs: (1) accuracy of current distributions on the structure, (2) general applicability of several expansion functions to a variety of geometries, (3) computer storage requirements, and (4) computer central processor time (CPU). Three computer programs designed to treat radiation and scattering problems for thin-wire structures by the method of moments were compared extensively with each other and with experimental data. Each of these three programs are available in the literature and represent a variety of different techniques such as pulse, triangle, and sinusoidal expansion functions, respectively, to determine current distributions.
