Abstract

The moment-method-based NEC code is widely known and widely used low frequency code. In the present work, the NEC code is applied to coupling problems involving complex structures at HF frequencies. First, the geometry modelling guidelines for complex structures are discussed. Following this, two HF antennas mounted on an Apache helicopter airframe are modeled. Finally, the coupling effects between the two antennas are analyzed in terms of radiation patterns, maximum coupling factors and input impedance.
