Transient response of coupled wire antennas using the electric field integral equation with Laguerre polynomials as temporal basis functions

Two time domain integral equations of coupled identical and symmetrically wire antennas are presented. The equations are solved efficiently by method of moments particularly Galerkin´s method. The time domain unknown coefficients of the electric currents are approximated using a set of orthonormal basis function that is derived from the Laguerre functions. Numerical results involving transient currents on each antenna are presented depending on separate distance between the two antennas.
