Can you provide me with a concise summary of the features of your high frequency electromagnetic solver?


Below is quick summary of the requested information.

1) 4 classes of problems
a) propagation (of waves along guided structures - waveguides, transmission lines)
b) scattering (of incident plane wave radiation off of structures - far field quantities... radar cross section)
c) radiation (of RF energy away from antennas)
d) modal analysis (2D HF118: cutoff frequencies, propagation constants, 3D: Q factor)

2) Materials
a) PERX/Y/Z (permittivity)
b) MURX/Y/Z (permeability)
c) RSVX/Y/Z (electrical resistivity)
d) LSST (loss tangent)

3) Ports types (behavior)
a) HARD (hard source aperture, no reflected waves passed)
b) IMPD (impedance port: matching impedance if no excitation prescribed otherwise may launch a modal source and passes radiation identical to mode launched)
c) SOFT (soft excitation: an interior port that passes all reflected radiation)
d) SEXT (s parameter extraction port - no associated excitation)

4) Port types (geometry)
a) RECT (rectangular)
b) COAX (coaxial)
c) CIRC (circular)
d) PARA (parallel plane waveguide)
e) TLINE (transmission line)

5) Boundary conditions
a) PMC (perfect magnetic conductor: tangential component of H iszero)
b) PEC (perfect electric conductor: tangential component of E is zero)
c) SIBC (surface impedance boundary condition; lossy surfaces)
d) PML (perfectly matched layers absorb outgoing radiation without reflection to represent infinite domain outside of model)
e) MXWF (flags set to define equivalent sources for far field evaluations (radar cross section, antenna gain, field quantities)
f) Floquet periodicity (can model only a single cell of a phased array antenna to simulate performance of an nXm array)
