Fast Computation of Radome EM Parameters with Golden Section Search Method for Radiation Pattern Peak Detection

This paper proposes the use of golden section search method in conjunction with 3D ray tracing method for efficient and fast computation of radome parameters. The performance of the golden section search method is compared with noniterative and iterative method reported previously in terms of efficiency and processing time. It is observed that golden section search method is efficient compared to the other two methods considered. Therefore, golden section search method is suitable for radome design and optimization on personal computers.
