Method of Moments and Circuit Network Theory in Antenna Analysis

Abstract

The Method of Moment (MoM) is a numerical technique for the analysis of linear antennas. Circuit network principles describe the analysis of circuit components in a given system. The two techniques find application in the analysis and synthesis of antennas. With this combination, antenna problem formulation tends to be distinct with clear method of solution. This paper therefore describes the relationship between the two solution methods with emphasis on the fundamentals they share in common. The implications of making any choice in the solution approach are also investigated.
