Angora is a software package for electromagnetic simulation. Some important features of Angora, such as focused laser-beam illumination and numerical optical-image synthesis, are geared toward optics applications.
Others, such as random medium generation and multilayer support, are useful for any antenna, microwave, propagation, or remote-sensing application. |
Some key features of Angora are as follows:
- An automatic build/install mechanism for the GNU/Linux operating system.
- A user-friendly confi guration using text-based configuration files.
- Full parallelizability in three dimensions, based on the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard.
- Support for planar multilayered spaces:
- Total-fi eld/scattered-fi eld (TF/SF) planewave source.
- Phasor-domain near-fi eld-to-far-fi eld transformation (NFFFT).
- Focused laser beams with arbitrary polarization, orientation, and propagation direction (also supports multilayered spaces.)
- Convolution perfectly-matched absorbing boundaries.
- Support for HDF5, a portable fi le storage format.
- Field-value recording (two-dimensional, one-dimensional, single point) and movie generation.
- Generating random constitutive parameter distributions.
- Reading constitutive-parameter distributions from files.
- Synthesizing the optical image of the simulated sample.
