A hybrid technique combining the FDTD method and Physical Optics (PO) approximation is investigated as tools for efficient analysis of antennas radiating in the presence of complex structures (i.e. dielectric bodies and electrically large conducting platforms). Numerical examples are given to demonstrate considerable saving in both computer memory and CPU time offered by the proposed approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
