Abstract
A new hybrid technique is presented, which combines the method of moments w ith the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method to analyse electrically short, thin-wire antennas located in the vicinity of inhomogeneous dielect ric bodies. The antennas are dealt with in the frequency domain using the N EC code, while the FDTD method is used to analyse the inhomogeneous part of the; problem. The two sub-problems are combined by invoking the equivalenc e theorem.
