Abstract :
Some aspects of using the thin wire model in the method of moments on relatively thick wire antennas and scatterers are investigated. Specifically, the treatment of the extremities of the geometry, and the limitations, inherent in the thin wire model, when applied to highly curved wire structures are addressed.
