Abstract: In this paper, the coupling analysis of HF antennas mounted on a ship is presented. The method of Moments (MoM) is used to calculate the inter antenna coupling in 1.6–30 MHz frequency range. Numerical results with MoM are performed and the reliability of these methods is discussed according to the measurement results. The coupling measurements were acquired on 1:50 scale model of the shipboard.
