Algorithms and software for frequency-domain and time-domain simulations of RF subsystems and electromagnetic sensors in ICT

The project focuses on a general framework for development of methods, algorithms, and software for accurate and efficient analysis of complex and electrically large electromagnetic (EM) systems. One of the salient features of the proposed framework is inclusion of causal models of media parameters and EM structures for the analysis in the time domain. The framework is suitable for simulation and design of RF subsystems (e.g., antennas, scatterers, and microwave circuits) for both research and industrial applications, such as EM sensors, antenna systems and arrays on aircraft. The principle consumers of this research are software development companies and research and development institutions that have to solve complex EM design problems requiring modeling of composite dielectric and metallic structures. Key expected results are software components, suitable for implementation in WIPL-D software system, which implement algorithms and models of RF subsystems and microwave devices. Another set of results are laboratory prototypes, along with the corresponding measurements, which serve to verify the algorithms and models. The expected results refer to the frequency-domain analysis, time-domain analysis, and causal response of microwave devices. Direct consumer of the deliverables will be the company WIPL-D d.o.o. Belgrade, Serbia. The immediate benefits of the deliverables are extended functionality of the WIPL-D software system and improved efficiency of its kernel.
