Abstract
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.
