Abstract :
In this paper, the parallel higher-order MoM is used to simulate a large antenna array. A comparison of simulation results of an antenna element between using the parallel higher-order MoM and using the FEM indicates that the parallel higher-order MoM is validity. Furthermore, an antenna array that consists of 30 X 14 elements is successfully simulated, which shows that the method used in this paper can solve the practical engineering problems.
