Detailed Documentation

This document demonstrates how to calculate the field distribution of thin-wire antennas using the Method of Moments (MoM). The implementation allows users to customize parameters such as antenna length through configurable input variables. Key computational steps involve discretizing the antenna into segmented basis functions, constructing impedance matrices using Green's function integrations, and solving linear systems for current distribution. The algorithm accounts for antenna geometry, material properties, and environmental factors to ensure accuracy. We provide detailed workflow explanations with code snippets illustrating matrix assembly and equation solving techniques. Examples include parameter modification guides for adapting simulations to specific application scenarios, supported by optimization suggestions for computational efficiency.
