The moment-method form of Pocklington' s integral equation above ground

摘要

Pocklington' s integral equation is presented for analysis of current distributions on wire antenna above ground. Sommerfeld type integrals, the kernel functions of the integral equation, can be approximately expressed as the elementary functions using the Fresnel plane-wave reflection coefficients method; and the Pocklington' s integral equation will be rearranged into a linear equation with solution easily obtained by using the method of moments of moments, when the sinusoidal sub-domain expansion is chosen to express the current distributions.
