Abstract :
The locally corrected Nyström method is used to solve the electric field integral equation to determine the currents and input impedance of a hollow linear dipole. The results suggest that the Nyström method, despite the use of a discontinuous underlying representation for the currents, can produce currents and input impedance comparable in accuracy to those obtained by the method of moments.
