Implementation and Applications of the Method of Auxiliary Sources for Analysis of Smooth Scatterers and Wires: R 731

This report documents the implementation of Method of Auxiliary Sources techniques developed for smooth scatterers and wire scatterers. The work was done in the course of the PhD project "Electronically Steerable Antennas for Satellite Communication" where the techniques were employed to investigate finite ground planes, dielectric resonator antennas and arrays, and arrays of wire antennas. The described techniques are compared with reference results with good resulting agreement. In addition some representative examples of application are given which, for the most part, are of similar nature as the investigations done in the PhD project.
