Impedance of Monopole Antennas on Vehicles by Moment Methods.

Abstract

The moment method program NEC-1 was used to investigate the accuracy with which antenna impedance can be calculated by moment methods for monopole antennas on conducting vehicles. Both wiregrid and surface patch methods were used. It is shown that providing certain constraints are adhered to, reasonably accurate results are possible for antennas that are not too thick.
