Certified dual-corrected radiation patterns of phased antenna arrays by offline-online order reduction of finite-element models

This paper presents a fast numerical method for computing certified far-field patterns of phased antenna arrays over broad frequency bands as well as wide ranges of steering and look angles. The proposed scheme combines finite-element analysis, dual-corrected model-order reduction, and empirical interpolation. To assure the reliability of the results, improved a posteriori error bounds for the radiated power and directive gain are derived. Both the reduced-order model and the error-bounds algorithm feature offline-online decomposition. A real-world example is provided to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the suggested approach.
