The numerical modeling of multi-element antenna array is needed for analysis of interactions between antenna array elements. This interaction considerably change impedance and directivity diagram of one radiation element situated in antenna array in comparison with isolated radiation element. More accurate numerical method for analysis wire antenna is integral equation method (IE), but its capability is considerably limited by irradiator wave dimension. The work deals with two methods for surmounting this limitation.
