Abstract

Electromagnetic-thermal cosimulation of large antenna arrays is performed by using a supercomputing-based parallel domain decomposition method. In this letter, frequency-domain electromagnetic and thermal fields are solved self-consistently and then coupled via Joule heat and temperature-dependent material properties. The developed cosimulation solver is first validated with the commercial software COMSOL Multiphysics. Then, the parallel performance of our in-house developed code is examined in terms of scalability and efficiency. Finally, the temperature distributions over large-scale antenna arrays are obtained by our proposed solver in a highly efficient manner.
