Abstract

A general analysis of straight wire antennas and scatterers, with arbitrary excitation and loading, is given. The resulting formulas are in matrix notation, in a form suitable for programming on a digital computer. Many numerical results for input admittances, current distributions, radiation patterns, and scattering cross sections of various antennas and scatterers are included.
