Abstract :
In the last 40 years the Method of Moments has been a cornerstone in the field of computational electromagnetics for antennas and other components in the microwave frequency range. In this paper, the applicability, advantages and disadvantages of this method are discussed in view of applying it at much higher frequencies, namely in the field of plasmonics.
