In this article, wire antennas installed on electrically large structures are modeled by surface–surface configuration. The surface–surface configuration is applied to the hybrid method of moments–physical optics (MoM‐PO) to solve electromagnetic radiation problem of wire antennas mounted on electrically large conducting platform. Numerical results for the arbitrary shaped perfectly electric conducting are considered. Compared with the wire–surface configuration, the surface–surface configuration is easy to ensure the current continuity at the junction and maintain the required good accuracy. Additional complex basis functions are not required in surface–surface junction model compared with wire–surface junction model. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2010.
