This study presents an overlapped subarray decomposition method to effectively simulate electrically large planar array of antennas, where the extracted subarrays can be simulated in parallel by commercial codes a distributed fashion. is relatively simple and allows one obtain reasonable result within acceptable level accuracy for engineering purpose. A plug‐in code built up using as computational engine. The characteristics this are investigated considering simulation dipole antenna via application moments (MoM). It also validated performing realistic design microstrip patch antennas. comparisons with measurement results performed summarised.
