  • Abstract
    The input impedance and field patterns for bowtie antennas of various lengths and flare angles have been calculated using the moment method and triangular basis functions. These agree within 10% of previous experimental results. Rao-Wilton-Glisson (1982) basis functions, delta-gap feed and Caorsi´s (1993) line-integral method were used
