A wireframe implementation of the method of moments in time domain is presented, with particular attention to wire junctions. Peculiar base and weight functions will be defined at the junctions to implicitly account for current continuity and correctly take into account inter-wire coupling. This will allow implementation of both an explicit and an implicit solution. Results obtained are validated with existing frequency domain solutions.
