Tools for Analysis and Design of Microwave Circuits and Antenna Arrays
| This talk presents a review of numerical techniques
for modeling of microwave circuits and antennas. Then, it introduces EMPiCASSO,
a powerful electromagnectic CAD tool that provides an integrated environment
for analysis, synthesis and optimization of multilayer printed microwave
circuits and antennas. EMPiCASSO has been
built on an object-oriented foundation that allows a systematic integration
of all preprocessing, processing and post-processing tasks within a single
unified visual interface. The integration of the moment method (MoM) simulator,
network simulator and a new finite element (FEM) simulator are discussed,
and examples will be presented for hybrid MoM/FEM simulation of complex
structures. The talk will continue with a discussion of parallelization
of the simulation codes on high performance computing resources. Results
will be presented on the scalability of the MoM and FEM codes for some
large-scale electromagnetic problems involving thousands to millions of
unkowns. The talk will conclude with a live demonstration of EMPiCASSO.
