Abstract
A tutorial description of a method of moments implementation together with a Matlab toolbox for convex optimization to determine optimal current distributions on arbitrarily shaped antennas is presented. The optimal currents offer insight for antenna design and present performance bounds for antennas. Optimization formulations for maximal gain Q-factor quotient and antennas embedded in structures are discussed. The results are illustrated for planar geometries.
