Abstract :
The paper deals with numerical and analytical modeling of vertical straight thin wire above a perfectly conducting (PEC) ground as a part of a complex PLC system. The analysis is based on the solution of the corresponding Pocklington integro-differential equation. The numerical solution is carried out via the Galerkin-Bubnov Indirect Boundary Element Method (GB-IBEM) while the analytical solution is based on the sinusoidal approximate current distribution. Some illustrative computational examples are presented in the paper. The results obtained via different approaches agree satisfactorily.
