The role of the ParaMoM setup phase is to read in necessary information
from two files. One is the parameters' file and the other is the target geometry description (DC) file.
The information given in the parameters' file is listed as
- The integration formulation type (EFIE, or MFIE, or CFIE).
- The excitation frequency in megahertz.
- The transmitter and receiver polarization combinations (up to 16
of them).
- Three angle sweep scenarios to be chosen (see
Appendix
): monostatic or
fixed
bistatic angle, bistatic with fixed transmitter, or bistatic with fixed
equivalent line of sight.
The target geometry
description (DC) file is generated by a preprocessor, which triangulates all
curved surfaces according to a specified maximum edge length. The DC file
contains the following information:
- The total number of triangular faces, edges, and nodes in the model.
- The connectivity of these triangles.
- The parametric coordinates of vertices of these triangles
- The material specification
