Abstract

Currently, more and more practical engineering applications place antenna system on the electrically large platform. This paper deals with the problem of antennas mounted on large platform from two aspects - radiation pattern and system electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). To achieve an accurate and effective computation, this paper applies Method of Moment (MoM) with Higher-order basis functions solver with large-scale parallel computation technique. And finally some real-life examples are presented to describe how to install antennas on the platform reasonably.
