Abstract(in English) If the current distribution on the antenna surface is known, all the technical parameters of the antenna can be computed. To compute the current distribution, integral equations have to be solved. By making use of the Method of Moment these integral equations are transformed to a set of simultaneous linear equations, which are solved by matrix operations. The Method of Moment applied to the analysis of a wire antenna and to the analysis of microstrip and plane shaped antennas/patch antennas is worked out in this paper. When analyzing plane shaped antennas, singular points occur. The way to handle these singular points is included in this paper. The Method of Moment theory is implemented in a technical computing program. The results of this program are compared with the results of a commercial available software package based on the Method of Moment. The difference in results of the two programs is in almost all cases within 5%. By making use of the commercial software package, a Vivaldi antenna is designed with a bandwidth of 2.5 GHz at the center frequency of 35 GHz (14:1 band).
