The focus of this paper is on solving Hallen's integral equation for a diploe antenna of perfectly conducting material. A special representation of orthogonal triangular basis functions is used to implement an effective numerical method for solving this equation. The Hallen's formulation is treated in detail and illustrative computations are given for current distributions and radiation patterns.
