Numerical integration method in analysis of wire antennas

  • Published:
Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences

Abstract

The numerical evaluation of an integral is a frequently encountered problem in antenna analysis. A special Gauss-Christoffel quadrature formula for nonclassical weight function is constructed for solving the pseudo-singular integration problem arising from the analysis of thin-wire antennas. High integration accuracy is obtained at comparable low computation cost by the quadrature formula constructed. This integration method can be also used in other electromagnetic integral equation problems.
