Abstract :
In this paper,diakoptic approach was proposed and can be used to predict radiation pattern of a large array with practically no loss of accuracy compared to simulation of full array. On the other hand the simulation times are greatly reduced using diakoptic approach, which makes it a method of choice for simulation of large and complex structures such as antenna arrays.
