Scattering analysis

Problem Description

Designers regularly require insight into the scattering properties of an object. Insights from such analysis are typically used either to minimise the scattering of an object (e.g. stealth designs) or to improve radar performance in stealth environments. The advancement of methods for the lowering of scattering from objects include the use of advanced composite materials and the accurate analysis of a target's scattering properties is becoming increasingly difficult.

FEKO Solution

FEKO can be used for scattering analysis of metallic and dielectric bodies of small and large electrical size. The Multilevel Fast Multipole Method (MLFMM) is an efficient tool for scattering analysis. Even so, it must be said that at higher frequencies such analysis will require large amounts of computing resources.
