A. Salinas et al., MODELING OF STRAIGHT THIN WIRES USING TIME-DOMAIN ELECTRIC-FIELD INTEGRAL-EQUATIONS, IEE proceedings. Microwaves, antennas and propagation, 141(2), 1994, pp. 123-126
The thin-wire time-domain electric field integral equation is formulat
ed starting from the extended boundary condition theorem and including
a first-order approximation for the charges at the end caps of the wi
re. The equation obtained is solved directly in the time domain by the
moment method. The effects of this approximation and of changing the
situation of the matching points on the segments of the wire are studi
ed.
