Sourced by incident wave excitations Plane waves or linked HFSS designs as a source 30
30 Physical Optics (PO) Recieve Handles object scattering using asymptotically derived currents. There is an edge effect but it does not yield the true diffracted fields. Scatterer Source Currents approximated as J 2nxH inc 31
31 PO Solver in HFSS-IE 14 PE C Where: J PO = 2(n x H inc ) PO assumes the fields on all illuminated surface are the incident fields Effects of the scatterers are included by assuming the incident fields are scattered at each point on the body as if it were reflected from an infinite tangent plane at that point; J~2(n x H inc ) for PEC. For non-illuminated surfaces the J are set to zero. 32
