The integral equation of Hallen's type is derived in the time domain. The solution of the integral equation is carried out numerically, and the electromagnetic behavior of linear antennas and scatterers under various excitations is presented. The integral equation may be used to obtain time‐domain responses of coupled parallel linear antennas, and scatterers with loads. Combining with the method of characteristics in solving transmission line problems, the integral‐equation formulation is applied to the cases in which antennas and scatterers are connected to transmission lines.
