Abstract :
Complexity and needed computation time of moment method analysis approach for conformal antennas is reduced by applying particular series acceleration techniques to the partial sums encountered in these problems. The Wynn´s ε-acceleration technique is investigated and modified in order to achieve better convergence. The results show excellent convergence properties when applying this method in the analysis of antennas printed on cylindrical and spherical substrates.
