IDGA’s 6th Annual Military Antennas Summit is a forum on the challenges, requirements, and potential solutions for the development and deployment of efficient antenna systems for the military. With the growing emphasis on joint operations and interoperability, the Department of Defense is continually exploring ways to foster interdisciplinary communications and integration. This summit promotes the development of military RF systems by providing a home for the greater Military Antennas Community.

The new 3D EM solver EMPIRE XCcel 5.40 will be presented which covers nearly all today's design challenges for RF designers, like antennas, passive circuits, packages, waveguides or EMC/EMI problems. Due to its efficient implementation it is possible to model large scale problems with up to, e.g. 1000 million FDTD Cells using EMPIRE XCcel on a 24 GByte PC* with a performance of up to 2200 MCells/s. In order to cover even larger problem sizes EMPIRE XCcel has been extended to solve single jobs very efficiently on multiple PCs.
