Analysis of electromagnetic characteristics of antenna arrays based on the characteristic basis function method

The characteristic basis function method (CBFM) is used to analyze the electromagnetic characteristics of antenna arrays in this paper. The original antenna arrays are divided into a number of subdomains and high-level basis functions are constructed for each subdomain through their couplings, the resulting matrix can be largely reduced. The characteristic basis function method not only has high accuracy and computing time is greatly reduced. The numerical results are given to illustrate that the method is accurate and efficient.
