This and the next, final, chapter are aimed at illustrating numerically the method for the analysis of metallic antennas and scatterers elaborated in the preceding chapters. In this chapter several groups of examples are presented which are intended to justify various choices made in the method adopted for the analysis. The first group consists of examples illustrating the choice of the method for modelling of the structure geometry of both metallic bodies and wires. The second group contains examples which illustrate the reasons that have led to the choice of the method for the approximation of currents over generalised quadrilaterals and along generalised wires. These are followed by a group of examples illustrating modelling of excitation. A final group of examples is intended to assist understanding of the reasons for the particular choice of the test procedure adopted in the book.
