Method of Moments/Evidence

Method of Moments

The Method of Moments (MoM) is a powerful numerical technique for solving electromagnetic boundary integral equations derived from Maxwell equations. Pioneered by Roger Harrington in 1968, MoM discretizes only radiating surfaces and boundaries (antennas, conductors, dielectrics), not the surrounding space, making it efficient for radiation and scattering problems. MoM remains the standard tool for antenna design, electromagnetic compatibility analysis, and RF/microwave engineering.
