Analysis of Radiation Characteristic of HF Wire Antenna Mounted on Ship Using MLFMA

The radiation characteristics of HF wire antennas mounted on ship were analyzed by using the MLFMA.The reaction of electromagnetic waves between the carrier and antenna is very complicated due to the carrier's electrically small structure among the frequencies of interest(3～30 MHz).The results showed that this method is efficient to analyze HF wire antennas mounted on ship.
