Abstract

Integral equations for currents in one and two straight metal radiators with exact and approximate kernel and methods of solving these equations with the help of an iterative process, perturbation method and Moment Method are considered. Results are generalized to the case of radiators with constant and piecewise-constant impedance and with lumped loads. The Moment Method with piecewise-sinusoidal basic and weighting functions is shown to correspond to the physical content of a problem and be equivalent to division of the radiator into isolated dipoles, the self- and mutual impedances of which are calculated by the method of induced emf.
