Because the MLFMM of the FEKO simulator is very useful in calculating large objects, simulation examples of electrical field distributions of cars are obtained and compared with measured results. As the first example, detailed electrical field distributions inside a car are calculated. Calculation loads of with/without MLFMM and influences of window glasses are compared. Moreover, calculated results are compared with precise measured results obtained by the optical field probe. Next, electrical field environments of TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) are studied. Electrical field distributions on a windshield from transmitters contained in tires are calculated. Changes of electrical fields in accordance with tire rotations are also calculated and compared with measured results.
