Abstract
The computational electromagnetic modelling of a large radio telescope prototype array for the Square Kilometer Array is described. The numerical models, using the Method of Moments, are characterised by a very large number of unknowns, requiring the use of fast solution methods and high performance computing platforms. Good agreement has been obtained between results obtained on two different commercial codes. Results for both embedded element patterns and the station beam are shown. The use of the computed embedded element patterns for array calibration is briefly addressed.
