Meshless Radial Basis Functions Method for Solving Hallen’s Integral Equation
Keywords:
meshless methodAbstract
This paper introduced a meshless method based on radial basis function (RBF) interpolation to solve Hallen’s integral equation (HIE) of the thin wire. The unknown current Iz(z) is interpolated by RBF at the center nodes and point matching method is applied to HIE at the collocation nodes. To validate the present method, the input impedance and induced current of dipole antenna are computed with the r5-RBF and Wu’s RBF, respectively. The results show that the present method is a steady numerical approach for solving HIE.
