Mutual Coupling between Monopoles on F-4 Aircraft at Transition Frequencies: A Comparison between MoM and MoM/UTD Hybrid Method at UHF BandAbstract
In this paper, the analysis of mutual coupling between monopole antennas mounted on the aircraft at UHF band is presented. The Method of Moments (MoM) and hybridized MoM with Uniform Geometrical Theory of Diffraction (UTD) method (MoM/UTD) are used to calculate the coupling in 225 MHz-400 MHz frequency range. Numerical results with MoM and MoM/UTD are performed and the reliability of these methods is discussed based on the measurement results.
