Title: Novel modeling of LOFAR's high band antenna, using the finite element method
Keywords: Component array, Finite element method, High-band antenna, Radio astronomy

Abstract: LOFAR (Low Frequency Array) is a radio telescope consisting of two types of antenna arrays - for low and high frequency. In this paper we discuss the High Band Array - HBA and represent option to better its accuracy, using the FEM (Finite element method), that can help us increase the precision of the modeling of antenna elements in large antenna arrays, which is the case of the HBA.
