Validation of Hybrid MoM Scheme With Included Equivalent Glass Antenna Model for Handling Automotive EMC Problems

In this paper, based on the refined modified image theory, an equivalent model of the layered glass antenna structure is suggested and validated by comparison with Sommerfeld's traditional solution to Green's function. Using this model, a hybrid method of moments (MoM) scheme is derived to handle the full MoM geometries including finite-sized and curved glass antenna structures. This scheme is validated by comparison of the measured and simulated electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) characteristics of the special simplified models and a full vehicle model with a realistic rear window glass antenna.
