Summary:
A current-based hybrid formulation is developed for radiation from wire antennas near a curved smooth surface. The electric field integral equation (EFIE) is combined with the Fock currents on smooth surface in the method of moments (MoM) solution. The Fock solution is valid in both illuminated and shadowed regions, and is continuous across the shadow boundary. This provides a better approximation than the physical optics (PO) currents on smooth surface. Since the Fock solution is a high frequency asymptotic result, the hybrid method works well on large surfaces.
