This paper proposes the application of the Finite Element Tearing and Interconnecting method (FETI-2LM) a Domain Decompositon Method (DDM) [1], [2] for the full-wave simulation of large antenna array (few thousands of radiating elements). The proposed methodology makes it possible to efficiently calculate in a post-processing step the antenna patterns for steering directions within the desired field of view while taking into account the active reflection coefficients. The methodology is based on an efficient extraction of the embedded radiating elements far field radiation patterns as well as the Generalized Scattering Matrix (GSM) [3] of the array by implementing massively parallel computers. The beauty of the GSM is its capability to handle the active S-parameters independently of the steering direction. This permits to generate the angulardependent active reflection coefficients by post-processing. This implementation is a step forward to provide us with a tool that permits to evaluate by simulation large antenna array while taking into account all the phenomena and interactions that may degrade the key performances that are required at a higher level, to specify a global system before fabrication.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
