Description
Recently, new HBA simulations were conducted based on an EM model of the High Band Antenna developed by Michel Arts. In this analysis, more tiles have been included to account for mutual coupling among antennas. Although the results are very preliminary, sharing them with the community will be useful to determine the best approach for future, more structured simulations. Furthermore, I will take the opportunity to describe previous INAF work on a drone campaign aimed at experimentally validating the EM models of LOFAR.
