Abstract :
A method based on 2-dimensional, bivariate interpolation is described for use in evaluating the Sommerfeld integrals which arise in an integral-equation solution of antennas which interact with a halfspace. This approach provides the rigour of the Sommerfeld formulation with a computer time comparable to the perfect-ground problem.
