The well-posedness of the integral equations for thin wire antennas with distributional incidental fields
( Department of Mathematics, Heriot-Watt University, Riccarton, Edinburgh EH14 4AS, UK. E-mail: bryan@ma.hw.ac.uk )
In this paper we extend previous results on the well-posedness of the Pocklington and Hallen integral equations for the current induced on a thin wire by an incident harmonic electromagnetic field to the case where the incident field may lie in a certain function space of distributions. This function space includes the special case of a Dirac
-function incident field which is widely used to model dipole antennas.
