Next Generation In-Situ Antenna Analysis and Design Toolbox

We propose development of a software capability which, based on use of accurate and efficient exact-physics computational electromagnetics (CEM) solvers together with CAD-import (Computer Aided Design) and direct CAD-to-EM capabilities, will enable modeling and simulation of properties of on-platform mounted-antenna systems for platforms one-thousand wavelengths in size and beyond. For accuracy and modeling flexibility the proposed codes are based on a class of fast, high-order frequency--domain algorithms put forth in recent years together with a number of highly significant proposed innovations. The resulting solvers will be able to accurately and efficiently simulate generation, propagation and scattering of waves within and around complex scattering structures of very large electrical sizeswhile accounting in a physically exact manner for scattering, transmission and absorption by complex metallic, dielectric and magnetic structures.
