The "Method of Moments" (MOM) makes no assumptions about
current distribution on a radiator; it computes the current distribution. The radiated field is then calculated based on the current distribution. Frank Yes it does but as always one must review the basis on which formula is formed and conditions expressed One of these conditions is that current flow is sinusoidal which cannot be true because of leakage ( radiation) per unit length of the radiator. If on compares the current flow of a full wave radiatior to a fractional wave current flow this becomes very obvious especially when either of them is compared to a true sino soidal curve Cheers Frank None of the conditions assume current (distribution) on a radiator is sinusoidal. It can be anything, not even remotely sinusoidal, and frequently has discontinuities (such as a "unit step function" in the case of a shunt fed, gamma matched, grounded tower, for example). The theory behind the "Moment method", in the case of NEC 2, is in the public domain, and available he http://www.nec2.org/other/nec2prt1.pdf Frank |
