T. Ozdemir et al., A HYBRIDIZATION OF FINITE-ELEMENT AND HIGH-FREQUENCY METHODS FOR PATTERN PREDICTION FOR ANTENNAS ON AIRCRAFT STRUCTURES, IEEE antennas & propagation magazine, 38(3), 1996, pp. 28-38
This paper considers the hybridization of the finite-element and high-
frequency methods for predicting the radiation pattern of printed ante
nnas mounted on aircraft platforms. The finite-element method is used
io model the cavity-backed antennas, whereas the interactions between
the radiators and the substructures are treated via a high-frequency t
echnique, such as the GTD, PO/PTD, or SBR. We present comparisons betw
een measurements and calculations, along with a qualitative descriptio
n of the finite-element and high-frequency codes employed.
