However, when using the high-frequency approximation method to solve the problem, it is necessary to calculate the crawling diffraction wave on the curved surface. For this reason, the trajectory of the diffraction line must be determined first. The calculation of the formula is complicated, and the curved surface must be smooth and electrically large. When the number of antenna elements is too large, use With this algorithm, it is
