Computation of Monopole Antenna Currents Using Cylindrical Harmonic Expansions

Abstract

This thesis investigates the viability of a new method for numerically computing the input impedance and the currents on simple antenna structures. This technique considers the antenna between two ground planes and uses multiregion cylindrical harmonic expansions with tangential field continuity to obtain the surface currents and input impedance. The computed results are compared to the results obtained from the Numerical Electromagnetics Code for various physical parameters to assess computational accuracy.
