Computer modeling of antennas near the ground
Journal Article

An accurate and efficient numerical method based on the rigorous Sommerfeld theory is described for modeling antennas near an interface such as the ground. The Sommerfeld integrals are evaluated by numerical integration along contours in the complex plane and two-dimensional interpolation is used subsequently to obtain the many Sommerfeld integral values needed for the moment-method solution of an integral equation. These methods permit modeling an antenna within 10/sup -6/ wavelengths of the ground for about two to four times the computation time for the same antenna in free space. Results showing currents and radiation patterns are included.
