Abstract
After a brief historical review, integral equations are developed for the electromagnetic field vectors in space for a lossless system. The application of simple boundary conditions is demonstrated. This is an introduction to the generalized integral wave solution in Part II. 1 It is shown that the lossless ground plane can be replaced by image conductors. The effect of conductor losses on the electromagnetic field of the plane waves and the aspect of modal attennation are briefly discussed.
