Abstract

AbstractThe use of equivalent sources for the analysis of antenna arrays for high computational efficiency has been proposed. A single antenna element has been designed, and the fields have been saved on an enclosed geometry. The surface equivalence principle has been utilized to calculate the far‐field patterns from the fields saved on the enclosed geometry which has been termed as Huygens' box (HB). The antenna element has been used to design , , , and array and the far‐fields have been calculated. For linear arrays of HBs far‐field patterns and computation time have been compared with that of the actual antenna array. As the number of elements increases from 4 to 16, the computation time has been found to reduce from to . Further, the computation time has been found to reduce by and for and configurations, respectively. The method is suitable for analysis of complex geometry of antennas used in 5G technology and beyond.
