Abstract :
This paper presents an overview of the new FASANT code based on a combination of the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD) and physical optics (PO). This code is a powerful tool to analyze the radiation pattern of antennas on board in complex structures in an easy way. The structures must be electrically large and can be modeled by flat and/or curved surfaces defined by perfect electrical conductors or dielectric materials. This code has been validated using several complex test cases, showing good agreement between simulations and measurements.
