Application of Scale Changing Technique - grid computing to the electromagnetic simulation of reflectarrays

The capability of the Scale Changing Technique to run in parallel in distributed systems has been tested with reflectarrays having finite number of non-uniform radiating elements in grid computing environment. Advantages of this technique, like using its Scale Changing Networks dependency, were explored in parallel and parametric studies to solve complex planar multi-scale electromagnetic problems on Grid'5000, used as a test bed. This method has shown remarkable computing performances while keeping the same accuracy.
