Contents

A simple, rapid and flexible method for analysis of antenna structures assembled from arbitrarily oriented straight wire segments is presented. Essentially, it incorporates the point-matching polynomial solution of the so-called vector-scalar-potential integral equation for current distribution. The results obtained by the present method are in satisfactory agreement with experimental results and with those obtained by other theoretical methods.

Übersicht

Es wird eine einfache, schnelle Methode zur Analyse der Strukturen von Antennen, die in beliebiger Weise aus dünnen geradelinigen Drähten aufgebaut sind, beschrieben. Grundsätzlich beruht die Methode auf der Anwendung des “point-matching” Verfahrens auf die sogenannte Vektor-Skalar-Potential-Gleichung für die Stromverteilung. Die Ergebnisse der vorgeschlagenen Methode sind in guter Übereinstimmung einerseits mit Meßresultaten und andererseits mit Ergebnissen anderer theoretischer Methoden.
