Abstract :
This paper discusses the development of electromagnetic computer models that can be used to analyze conformal automobile antennas. Three different models, based on the method of moments (MoM) and the uniform geometric theory of diffraction (UTD), were developed (using three different computer codes) to allow the analysis to extend over a wide range of frequencies.
