Hybrid MM–PO–Fock Analysis of Monopole Antennas Mounted on Curved Convex Bodies
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 shaped 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 the hybrid approach a drastic reduction of memory requirement and CPU–time can be achieved as compared to an application of the MM alone.

Coupling of the Method of Moments with Asymptotic Current Expansions for the Analysis of EMC Problems at High Frequencies
This paper describes a hybrid method combining the method of moments (MM) with asymptotic current expansions for the higher frequency range. The physical optics (PO) approximation represents such an asymptotic current expansion which is rather simple to apply. However, for flat polygonal scatterers or scattering bodies containing wedge–like elements, the accuracy is improved by taking into acco...
متن کاملA Novel Volcano Smoke Antenna with Optimal Shape
The design of a novel volcano smoke antenna for UWB indoor applications is presented. The design method is based on a general description for the geometry of UWB monopole antennas which is capable of producing most possible shapes for these antennas. It is also compatible with different optimization methods. In addition to a volcano smoke antenna, this method is used to design two optimized mon...
متن کاملFDTD Analysis of Top-Hat Monopole Antennas Loaded with Radially Layered Dielectric
Top-hat monopole antennas loaded with radially layered dielectric are analyzed using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Unlike the mode-matching method (MMM) (which was previously used for analyzing these antennas) the FDTD method enables us to study such structures accurately and easily. Using this method, results can be obtained in a wide frequency band by performing only one ti...

Radiation from monopole antennas on spherical-lossy earth is analyzed by the finitedifference time-domain (FDTD) method in spherical coordinates. A novel generalized perfectly matched layer (PML) has been developed for the truncation of the lossy soil. For having an accurate modeling with less memory requirements, an efficient "non-uniform" mesh generation scheme is used. Also in each time step...
متن کاملCoupling Effects and Performance of Loran Transmitter Antennas
It is known that if a conductor resides in the neighboring of an antenna with a small distance relative to the wavelength, it induces a reverse current on the conductor. This paper involves the unavoidable coupling effects on some common types of LF antennas, due to the large wavelength in this frequency band. In particular, after some discussions about top-loaded antennas, the coupling effect ...
