A Computer program for Radiation from Arbitrarily Oriented Wire Antennas over Imperfect Ground.

Abstract

This report describes and lists a computer program for analyzing radiation from antenna arrays of arbitrarily oriented thin-wire antennas over the plane surface of an imperfectly conducting earth. The solution is that obtained from the E-field integral equation by the method of moments. The program input is the problem geometry, the array excitation and loading, and the characteristics of the earth. The program output is the current distribution on the wires, input independences of the feed points, and the complex E-field at points in space specified by the users. Sample input-output data are included. (Author)
