Abstract
This paper presents the use of general purpose graphics processing units (GPUs) computing to accelerate impedance matrix assembly phase of one of the popular computational electromagnetic method, namely method of moments (MoM). MoM is widely used computational electromagnetic (CEM) technique for solving electromagnetic problems governed by an electric field integral equation (EFIE), and ideally suited for radiation and scattering problems. To validate accuracy, radiation analysis of strip dipole antenna using standard Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) basis and weighting functions which is a good trade off between accuracy and complexity, is considered for the serial and parallel implementations. Performance parameters of strip dipole antenna are computed as postprocessing part of the simulation process.
