Application of CMAP Work on Boundary Integral Equation to Antenna Design: 20 Years of Collaboration

In 1982, Thales Airborne System (Thomson-CSF RCM at that time) decided to enhance its system engineering capabilities by developing tools for antennas performances prediction. Fortuitously, at the same time, a new formulation using finite element method for the resolution of the Maxwell boundary integral equation was developed at CMAP-X by A. Bendali under the supervision of J.C. Nédélec. That was the starting point of a closed ant constant cooperation between CMAP-X and TAS. The objective of the presentation is to show the application of numerous thesis work overseen by J.C. Nédélec to TAS industrial antenna design problem.
