Abstract :
In this work, two different configurations of a monopole mounted over a ground plane have their input admittance determined by a meshless numerical simulation. The Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin is used with shape functions generated by Moving Least Squares. Boundary conditions are imposed by a collocation scheme that avoids numerical integrations. The proposed axisymmetric analysis has a simple implementation. The results are in agreement with theoretical data and simulations found in the literature.
