Abstract

In this paper, a hybrid method combining equivalence principle algorithm with physical optics is proposed to solve the radiation problem of antenna mounted on electrically large platform. It is based on domain decomposition method which is a scheme for multi-scale problems. Equivalence principle algorithm can simulate antenna accurately, and physical optics is an asymptotical method to obtain current distribution on the electrically large platform. Continuity of currents is considered when the conductor on the platform is decomposed into two parts by the equivalence surface. In addition, a preconditioning for the hybridization of equivalence principle algorithm and physical optics is discussed. Numerical results demonstrate the feasibility of the hybrid method.
