Abstract
This paper introduces the principle of the multi-level method of moments (MoM) and its application in the analysis of the wire-antenna arrays. The multi-level MoM broadens the usage of the iterative methods in the MoM. Our numerical results show that when applying it to the wire-antenna array analysis with the consideration of the mutual coupling between elements, it can allow a rapid and accurate evaluation of the current distribution on the antennas, and the computational cost is less, especially when the number of antennas is large.
