Pattern prediction of antennas on a flat plate

A technique which combines the Method of Moments and the Geometrical Theory of Diffraction into a single Hybrid Technique is described and applied to the problem of computing the performance of wire type antennas on a planar satellite panel. Where possible results are compared with independently derived calculations or measurements to verify the computer program. The computer program, which is not included in the report, is capable of handling up to five antennas on a single satellite metallic panel.
