The article presents a brief analytical background, and summarizes the essential ingredients of the method of moments, for numerically solving low.frequency antenna problems. Some extensions to the basic models of perfectly conducting objects in free space are also summarized, followed by a consideration of some of the some computational issues that affect model accuracy, efficiency and utility. A variety of representative computations are then presented to illustrate various modeling aspects and capabilities that are currently available. A fairly extensive bibliography is included to suggest further reference material to the reader.Low-Frequency Antenna Models, Proc. IEEE '91,
