“…2) Scattered Field: We calculated the scattered field from the reflectarray using three tools: an in-house AIM accelerated MoM code, the Antenna Design Framework (ADF) [41] an AIM-accelerated commercial SIE solver, and the proposed technique. For the proposed method, we enclosed each element with an equivalent box of dimensions 3.60 mm × 3.60 mm × 4.00 mm.…”

Full-wave electromagnetic simulations of electrically large arrays of complex antennas and scatterers are challenging, as they consume large amount of memory and require long CPU times. This paper presents a new reduced-order modeling technique to compute scattering and radiation from large arrays of complex scatterers and antennas. In the proposed technique, each element of the array is replaced by an equivalent electric current distribution on a fictitious closed surface enclosing the element. This equivalent electric current density is derived using the equivalence theorem and it is related to the surface currents on the scatterer by the Stratton-Chu formulation. With the proposed approach, instead of directly solving for the unknown surface current density on the scatterers, we only need to solve for the unknowns on the equivalent surface. This approach leads to a reduction in the number of unknowns and better conditioning when it is applied to problems involving complex scatterers with multiscale features. Furthermore, the proposed approach is accelerated with the adaptive integral equation method to solve large problems. As illustrated in several practical examples, the proposed method yields speed up of up to 20 times and consumes up to 12 times less memory than the standard method of moments accelerated with the adaptive integral method.Index Terms-surface integral equation method, macromodel, equivalence theorem, adaptive integral equation method, multiscale problems, reduced-order modeling

Electric propulsion is a commercially attractive solution for attitude and position control of geostationary satellites. Hall-effect ions thrusters generate a localized plasma flow in the surrounding of the satellite, whose impact on the communication system needs to be qualitatively and quantitatively assessed. An electromagnetic modelling tool was developed and integrated into a commercial numerical solver. The plasma plume was modelled as a time-varying low density non-homogeneous dielectric. The geometrical optics (GO) approximation was used to study the propagation through the plume. Equivalent currents were computed on a surface around the plasma plume (Huygens principle) and made radiate to get the scattered field ("aperture integration"). Measurements were performed on two Hall-effect and one HEMP thrusters in a vacuum facility to validate the modelling tool. The test data of the HET PPS-1350 manufactured by Snecma are reported.978-1-4577-0811-4/11/$26.00 ©2011 IEEE
