The Air Force Research Laboratory High Power Microwave Division has developed a vector and parallel processing electromagnetic finite difference time domain (FDTD) computational Temporal Maxwell (TMax) solver. FDTD is a robust technique well suited for vector and parallel processing yielding a useful electromagnetic modeling tool. In this paper, TMax simulations of the Impulse Radiating Antenna (IRA) via the Cray X1 high performance computing machine with state-of-the art vectorizing FORTRAN compilers are shown to produce high resolution results for a sizable volume generating good agreement with experimental data thereby providing a way to assess different IRA configurations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
