Hybrid MM-PO-Fock Analysis of Monopole Antennas Mounted on Curved Convex Bodies


U. Jakobus and F. M. Landstorfer

Institut fur Hochfrequenztechnik, University of Stuttgart

The present contribution deals with a hybrid method combining the method of moments (MM) with the physical optics (PO) approximation and asymptotic currents based on Fock theory. This current based hybrid approach is employed to deal with arbitrarily shape monopole antennas located on perfectly conducting, curved convex surfaces. Some examples, e.g. an inverted-L antenna mounted on an open truncated cone, demonstrate that by hybrid approach a drastic reduction of memory requirements and CPU-time can be achieved as compared to an application of the MM alone.
