Abstract :
A new model is presented to improve the computational efficiency of analysing large travelling wave antennas: such as leaky wave antennas using the method of moments (MoM). The method uses a new type of travelling wave basis function which interfaces seamlessly with the rooftop sub-domain basis function. The computation time and resources are significantly economised by reducing the size of the matrix
