Abstract

An efficient wide-band analysis that combines modified integral equation-physical optics (IE-PO) hybrid formulation with the best uniform approximation is proposed for antennas around an electrically large platform in this paper. The modified single-level Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm which is based on the subdomain FFT acceleration is employed by interpolating the Green's function and introducing the concept of the empty groups. Furthermore, the correction of the near-interaction is avoided. On the other hand, the best uniform approximation technique is applied to analyze wide-band properties of antennas. Due to the above modifications, the hybrid method needs fewer unknowns and memory requirements than the conventional one.
