AB - This paper presents novel aspects concerning the analysis
of thick-wire antennas. The analysis is carried out using an integral
equation (IE) technique, in which the kernel is treated with a novel numerical-integration 
procedure. A comparison with other techniques are
included, showing the advantages of the newly proposed method. The
novel treatment of the kernel requires the efficient extraction of the singularities. 
For this purpose, two different techniques are presented, and
their advantages and drawbacks are discussed. Using the procedure
proposed, complex thick wire antennas with rotational symmetry are
analyzed. A combined antenna composed of cylindrical and conical sections 
is studied. The results show that the new techniques derived are
efficient and lead to accurate results.
