Abstract :
The sinusoidal-Galerkin moment method is developed for calculating the impedance of a monopole antenna arbitrarily located on a circular ground plane in free space, as a variation of the Richmond solution for a monopole at the centre. Speed of computation is maintained by an approximate solution which is vindicated by good agreement with measurements.
