Abstract :
The input impedance and field patterns for bowtie antennas of various lengths and flare angles have been calculated using the moment method and triangular basis functions. These agree within 10% of previous experimental results. Rao-Wilton-Glisson (1982) basis functions, delta-gap feed and Caorsi´s (1993) line-integral method were used
