Abstract :
A more judicious choice of trial functions to implement the improved circuit theory (ICT) application to multi-element antennas is achieved. These new trial functions, based on Tai´s modified variational implementation for single element antennas, lead to an ICT implementation applicable to much longer co-planar dipole arrays of arbitrary lengths. Examples are given to show that for co-planar dipole arrays, the proposed implementation presents a relatively more efficient method compared to the method of moments. The proposed new ICT implementation would be useful in applications such as CAD/CAE systems
