  • Abstract
    The feasibility of direct numerical calculations of antenna integral equations is investigated. It is shown that integral equation of Hallen´s type is the most adequate for such applications. The extension of Hallen´s integral equation to describe thin wire antennas of arbitrary geometry is accomplished, and results are presented for dipole, circular loops, and equiangular spiral antennas.
