Radiation patterns prediction of a dipole antenna mounted on a complex structure using GTD method

The GTD method is used for the calculations of radiation patterns due to a dipole antenna mounted on a complex structure. The complex structure is constructed of 16 conducting plates. In the studies, a dipole antenna with a length of 0.5 inch (about half wavelength) is placed 1 cm apart from the front plate and 20 cm above the top plate of the complex structure, respectively. A vertical polarization antenna is used for the studies. The simulation results of the antenna radiation patterns at 10 GHz are presented.
