Abstract :
Numerical computations using surface integral equation formulations solved by the method of moments are carried out in order to demonstrate that these techniques are useful tools for optical nanoantennas design. It is shown that almost frequency independent directivity patterns can be obtained over a large bandwidth for judiciously designed log-periodic nanoantennas.
