Abstract

Several characteristics of the wire antenna on electrically large composite body are analyzed by an adaptive multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). Adaptive MLFMA is applied to the boundary integration of the analysis model. With the basis functions and testing functions expanded with Dirac functions on different position, the calculation of impedance integration can be simplified and all the translation process can be calculated by fast Fourier transformation (FFT). Good agreement between the computed and measured results of antenna characters is obtained.
