Computer Modeling Techniques for Array Antennas on Complex Structures

Abstract

This report discusses the suitability of using several existing computational electromagnetics (CEM) codes for modeling antennas on complex structures. Complex structures are those with curved surfaces, edges, protrusions, and composite materials. Several models for wire and slot radiating elements have been developed. The performance of individual elements and arrays of elements over finite flat and curved ground planes is evaluated.
