DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, we have become familiar with using commercial
  software to design our antennas and microwave devices. This is very commo
 n because high-performance desktop computers are easy to find at affordabl
 e prices in our daily lives. The use of general-purpose commercial softwar
 e is widespread because it enables the simulation of arbitrary configurati
 ons. However\, many of us have experienced\, given the ease of using comme
 rcial software\, the difficulty of simulating electrically large electroma
 gnetic devices\, which can take days or\, in some cases\, cannot be comple
 ted at all. While it is true that we now have very powerful simulation too
 ls\, by making a few simple assumptions\, we can significantly reduce comp
 utational time without sacrificing accuracy [1]. In this talk\, I will int
 roduce a simple ray-tracing technique that can be used\, in combination wi
 th physical optics\, to calculate the radiation pattern\, directivity\, ga
 in\, mutual coupling\, and even the early-time response of antennas in com
 plex configurations [2-4]. The results are not only faster than those prod
 uced by conventional commercial software\, but also more accurate\, as the
 y avoid many of the numerical errors that typically arise when computing e
 lectrically large structures.\n\nRay Tracing for Antenna Modeling: Balanci

X-ALT-DESC:Description: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify\;&quot;&gt;In recent ye
 ars\, we have become familiar with using commercial software to design our
  antennas and microwave devices. This is very common because high-performa
 nce desktop computers are easy to find at affordable prices in our daily l
 ives. The use of general-purpose commercial software is widespread because
  it enables the simulation of arbitrary configurations. However\, many of 
 us have experienced\, given the ease of using commercial software\, the di
 fficulty of simulating electrically large electromagnetic devices\, which 
 can take days or\, in some cases\, cannot be completed at all. While it is
  true that we now have very powerful simulation tools\, by making a few si
 mple assumptions\, we can significantly reduce computational time without 
 sacrificing accuracy [1]. In this talk\, I will introduce a simple ray-tra
 cing technique that can be used\, in combination with physical optics\, to
  calculate the radiation pattern\, directivity\, gain\, mutual coupling\, 
 and even the early-time response of antennas in complex configurations [2-
 4]. The results are not only faster than those produced by conventional co
 mmercial software\, but also more accurate\, as they avoid many of the num
 erical errors that typically arise when computing electrically large struc
 tures.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt\; color: rgb(35\, 111\
