Abstract :
An exact expression in terms of line integration is presented for the near field of a rectangular waveguide modal current distribution, radiating either in free-space or on a perfectly conducting infinite ground plane. This formulation may be used in the framework of a method of moments (MoM) for reducing the computational time
