Abstract

Comments that the above paper (see Jaggard, Liu, Grot and Pelet, IEEE Trans. Antennas Propagat., vol.40, p.1273-1282, Nov. 1992) lacks the generality of the paper published by Monzon (see Antennas Propagat., vol.38, p.227-235, Feb. 1990). The latter paper contains an analysis for thin wires, including an explicit integral equation and method for numerical solution (summing impedance matrices), which renders the problem of trivial numerical implementation. Further, the analysis applies to full biisotropic regions, and is therefore more general than chiral since chiral is just a special case of biisotropic. It appears that Jaggard et. al. use the integral equation of Monzon and follow the numerical scheme therein literally.<>
