Electromagnetic Modeling, Optimization and Uncertainty Quantification for Antenna and Radar Systems Surfaces

Abstract

Objective: The overall objective of this basic research proposal is to identify and develop faster and more accurate methods for numerically solving Maxwell's equations in various settings. Among other instances the PI will continue his pioneering research on numerical handling of transient (time-dependent) device operation so that prediction of the propagation of relatively short pulses (radar for example) can be confidently undertaken. Approach: The PI has been in the forefront of inventing numerical methodology for handling cases such as scattering from objects with sharp features whose effect upon standard numerical approaches is disastrous. To handle these and other challenges the PI showed how a clever imbedding of the problem in a periodic "setting" (called by him the Fourier continuation method) can be used to produce a new scheme which exhibits none of the problems seen in other schemes.
