This paper introduces a moment-method formulation, which is capable of accurately modeling moderately thick cylindrical wire antennas. New algorithms are presented for the efficient computation of the cylindrical wire kernel and related impedance matrix integrals. These algorithms make use of exact series representations as well as efficient numerical procedures and lead to a significant reduct...

With the advance of wireless communication systems and increasing importance of other wireless applications, wideband and low profile antennas are in great demand for both commercial and military applications. Multi-band and wideband antennas are desirable in personal communication systems, small satellite communication terminals, and other wireless applications. Wideband antennas also find app...

Considerable work has been published to define the minimum possible antenna radiation as a function of the antenna size and gain. Many of the derivations assume an enclosing sphere and deal only with the fields external to this sphere. As a result, the limits tend to be overly optimistic, and realizable antennas generally have ’s considerably higher than the minimum values predicted by these th...

Behavior of antennas in the vicinity of conducting bodies such as circular cylinders and wedges has received considerable attention in the past [1]-[5]. These canonical structures can be used to model a wide range of scatterers or mounting platforms for antennas in practice. Usually the supporting structure is of finite extent for which the exact solution does not exist, however, the analytic s...
