Abstract

An iterative solution method (POHM iterative) has been developed which is suitable for modelling small, intricate antennas that are mounted on comparatively large bodies. The method provides radiation pattern, impedance, gain and RCS information. A computer program was developed to test the POHM iterative algorithm. Results shows good agreement with moment method calculations and experimental data.
