Abstract

This paper discusses the integration of the latest release of the FELICE code (2023) with the TOPICA code. A comparison is made between the current and previous versions of FELICE, starting from the plasma impedance matrix itself and, eventually, getting to the standard TOPICA outputs as the antenna input parameters, the coupled power and the radiated fields. The ADEX Upgrade (AUG) 3-strap antenna is adopted for this comparison, showing very similar results for the two versions of FELICE.
