Development of a Characteristic-Based Finite Volume Method for Patch Antennas

Abstract

An overview of the work accomplished throughout the duration of the contract is contained herein. This overview is cast primarily in terms of measurable accomplishments (i.e., publications and numerical solvers) and challenges (technical and non-technical). With respect to the former, five manuscripts have been accepted for or submitted to refereed journals, four manuscripts were presented at technical conferences, two manuscripts were co-authored with AFRL personnel, and one manuscript was invited for publication by the IEEE Trans. on Antennas and Propagation. Additionally, five numerical solvers have been developed and extensively tested. Representative data associated with each of these solvers are provided to corroborate the numerical methodology with the expected outcomes. Additional information pertaining to graduate student involvement, interactions with AFRL personnel, facilities and future work is also provided. Attached as appendices to the report are specific technical details associated with two numerical solvers hitherto not published in the open literature.
