Solvers
Antenna Toolbox™ provides six solvers, each with a specific application.
Solver Types | Materials | Applications |
---|---|---|
Method of Moments (MoM) solver using free-space Green's function | Metals and dielectrics | Antennas and arrays |
MoM solver using periodic Green's function | Metals and dielectrics | Infinite arrays |
Physical optics (PO) solver | Metals | Radar cross sections |
Hybrid MoM-PO solver | Metals | Electrically large antennas, installed antennas. For more information, see Solver Recommendations for Installed Antenna Analysis. |
Fast Multipole Method (FMM) solver | Metals | Electrically large antennas, installed antennas. For more information, see Solver Recommendations for Installed Antenna Analysis. |
MoM solver using wire basis | Metals | Wire antennas |
