Summary :

A more judicious choice of trial functions to implement the Improved Circuit Theory (ICT) application to multi-element antennas is achieved. These new trial functions, based on Tai's modified variational implementation for single element antennas, leads to an ICT implementation applicable to much longer co-planar dipole arrays. The accuracy of the generalized impedance formulas is in good agreement with the method of moments. Moreover, all these generalized formulas including the radiation pattern expressions are all in closed-form. This leads to an ICT implementation which still requires much shorter CPU time and lesser computer storage compared to method of moments. Thus, for co-planar dipole arrays, the proposed implementation presents a relatively very efficient method and would therefore be found useful in applications such as CAD/CAE systems.
