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.
Benefit: Our effort will produce a software solution for users of simulation tools for which the limitations implicit in existing solvers represent a significant handicap. These include the military, (Navy, Air Force, and Army) as well as commercial concerns (air-framers, space research agencies, remote sensing and medical imaging developers, etc). Thus, there is a significant market for the proposed improved innovative solutions in high-tech industry, and in pursuing the present project MathSys Inc. seeks to cater to that need. The PDE software needs of large high-tech companies, government labs and DoD (such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman,NASA, DoD agencies, etc.) are massive. MathSys Inc. is well positioned to cater to the needs of such entities, and has open ties at key levels of such organizations. We are certain that the successful completion of the development effort described in this text will find manifold uses and it will generate significant business opportunities for our company.
