Simulation Codes

The ElectroScience Lab has always emphasized the theory as well as the application of numerical techniques. For this reason, the most successful and powerful techniques have been implemented in terms of user-friendly computer codes.

• The Aircraft code (NEWAIR) and the Basic Scattering Code (NECBSC) employ the GTD to compute the radiation patterns of antennas on ships, aircraft, land vehicles and buildings.
• An electromagnetic surface patch code (ESP) employs the MM to analyze geometries composed of thin wires and polygonal plates 
• The reflector code (OSUREF) code uses the GTD to compute the radiation pattern of reflector antennas.

Recently the codes have being combined with 3D computer graphics and a modern point-and-click" motif interface to make their use as simple and intuitive as possible.
