Abstract :
The problem of a monopole mounted near the edge of a wedge or a vertex is considered. Three types of solutions-surface patch modeling, moment method/geometrical theory of diffraction (MM/GTD), and MM/eigenfunction-are presented, discussed, and compared with measurements. Results are in the form of input impedance and radiation patterns.
