| Abstract: |
A new analysis and design tool for multiple antennas sited on a large platform is proposed, based on exact physics solutions of the 3-D Maxwell's equations in the frequency domain. This tool uses the recently developed ultra-weak variational formulation (UWVF) to obtain equations for the tangential fields in a form that can be solved iteratively with almost perfect scalability on massively parallel computers, which will permit efficient solution for 1000 platforms. HyPerComp is well positioned to develop this tool due to equivalence of the UWVF to DG Galerkin formulation which we have applied to many large antenna/structure problems. HyPerComp is teaming with Professor Peter Monk from the University of Delaware, Professor Tim Warburton of Rice University, and Professor Tomi Huttunen of the University of Kuopio, Finland, in the development, implementation and validation of the UWVF code. |
| Benefits: |
In addition to serving the vital interests of the DoD, the development of an electromagnetic solver for electrically large problems will be well suited for a number of commercial applications involving EM simulations. Some of these include patient-specific hyperthermia radiation treatment for cancer, study of long term radiation effects from cellular phones, the sensitivity of cellular phones to various positions in a metropolitan area, hazards from high power lines near residential areas, meeting the EMC specifications of high power microwave circuits, and modeling of waveguide problems. The advancements to be made in quick-turnaround parallel processing using PC-based computing will significantly leverage any commercialization efforts. |
