New method for exact self-adjoint sensitivity analysis of metallic shapes

Summary form only given, as follows. A new sensitivity analysis method is proposed to compute the S-parameter Jacobian for metallic shapes. The method is exact in the sense that it uses an analytical formulation, which is independent of the method of numerical full-wave analysis and the respective system matrix. It uses only the field solution on the surface of the metallic objects. The field solution can be provided by any valid …
