An OpenMP Parallelized Physical Optics Method for the Analysis of the Electrically Large Radome

An open multiprocessing (OpenMP) parallel implementation of the iterative physical optics (PO) on a share-memory computer system is developed to analyze the electrically large radome. The algorithm takes into account the first- and second- order effects within the radome. Furthermore, the PO is parallelized with the help of OpenMP, resulting in a highly efficient implementation. Numerical results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
