A = Magnetic Vector Potential
F = Electric Vector Potential

It is possible to go from Sources on conductors to Radiated Fields directly, but it is advantageous to go via Vector Potentials first, as all "well behaved" functions can be differentiated...

Step 1

Helmoltz Wave Equation

Green's function
(a solution to the Helmoltz Wave Equation)

after many simplifications

A is unknown and I is unknown
ie. 1 equation and 2 unknowns

Step 2

--> after many simplifications

Solve for A in terms of constituent parameters and wave number

Step 3

Expand I in terms of basis functions.
Solve for current I
One equation, 1 unknown...
