Abstract

In order to realize integrally analysis and optimization of the large airborne radome-enclosed antenna system, a novel optimization strategy is proposed based on an overlapping domain decomposition method by using higher-order MoM and out-of-core solver (HO-OC-DDM), and combining with adaptive mutation particle swarm optimization (AMPSO). The introduction of parallel out-of-core solver and DDM can effectively break the random access memory (RAM) limit. This strategy can decompose difficult-to-solve global optimization problems into multi-domain optimization problems by using domain decomposition method. Finally, take airborne Yagi antenna system as an example, the numerical results show that the design of large airborne radome-enclosed antenna system based on the proposed strategy is convenient and effective.
