MOM Analysis of Cylindrical Conformal Dipole Array

This paper intends to search for the analytical solutions for the singular integral in analyzing conformal dipole arrays by method of moments (MOM). For the integral kernel of dipoles, an analytical solution is obtained by using the series form of the complete elliptic integral of the first kind. A recursive relation and an analytical solution are obtained to eliminate the singularities of the self-impedance integrals of the body of revolution (BOR). And the nonsingular parts of the integrals of the BOR are numerically integrated by FFT. Finally, a cylindrical conformal dipole array is analyzed by the method proposed above. The results agree well with those of measured.
