            Abstract : 
In this paper, based on the refined modified image theory, an equivalent model of the layered glass antenna structure is suggested and validated by comparison with Sommerfeld´s traditional solution to Green´s function. Using this model, a hybrid method of moments (MoM) scheme is derived to handle the full MoM geometries including finite-sized and curved glass antenna structures. This scheme is validated by comparison of the measured and simulated electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) characteristics of the special simplified models and a full vehicle model with a realistic rear window glass antenna.
