description BICGSTAB-FFT method of moment (MM) scheme is proposed to analyze several levels of planar generic layouts embedded in large multilayer structures when the layout geometries are modeled by NURBS surfaces. In this scheme, efficient computation of normalized error defined in iterative bi-conjugate gradient stabilized (BICGSTAB) method for large multilayer structure analysis problems is implemented. The efficient computation is based on pulse expansion with dense equi-spaced mesh of generalized rooftop basis functions (BFs) defined on NURBS surfaces and equivalent periodic problem (EPP) in order to apply fast Fourier transforms (FFT). Moreover, efficient computation of Green’s functions for multilayer structure is implemented for near and far field regions. Experimental and numerical validations of whole printed reflect array antennas of electrical size between 8 and 16 times the vacuum wavelengths are shown. In these validations, CPU time consumptions of the proposed method are obtained with results between few minutes and half an hour using a conventional laptop.
