=== Advantages & Limitations of EM.Illumina's PO Solver ===
EM.Illumina provides a computationally efficient alternative to full-wave solutions for extremely large structures when full-wave analysis becomes prohibitively expensive. For simple scatterer geometries, EM.Illumina's GO-PO solver is fairly adequate. But for complex geometries that involve multiple shadowing effects, the IPO solver must be utilized. The IPO technique can effectively capture dominant, near-field, multiple scattering effects from electrically large targets with concave surfaces. You have to remember that Physical Optics is a surface simulator. This is not a problem for PEC and PMC objects, which have zero internal fields, or even impedance surfaces, where you can satisfy the boundary conditions on one side of a surface only. PO analysis cannot handle the fields inside dielectric objects. Additionally, most coupling effects between adjacent scatterers are neglectedignored.
