Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) has been awarded a contract from the U.S. Air Force to develop a comprehensive software suite for the design and optimization of metasurfaces embedded on doubly curved surfaces.
Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI), in collaboration with their university partner, will develop a rigorous electromagnetic design suite that adapts low-profile planar electromagnetic structures onto doubly curved surfaces. This critical technology will be developed to support the Air Force’s need for high performance radio frequency technologies that can be placed at arbitrary locations on airborne platforms in order to enhance situational awareness in contested electromagnetic environments. The software suite, Preserving Rigorous Electromagnetic Structures using Topology Optimization (PRESTO) will enable the design and simulation of conformal metasurfaces that either mitigate the influence of substrate curvature or use the innate property of the system to enhance the electromagnetic modulation capabilities of metasurfaces to generate novel electromagnetic solutions with improved performance.
