| Abstract: | A novel hybrid cylindrical-Cartesian finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is presented, which permits a dramatic increase in the flexibility of the basic FDTD algorithm. It is shown to be particularly well-suited to the analysis of faceted conformal antenna arrays and its accuracy is demonstrated by comparison with experimental measurements of couplings within a 17-element array |
