Abstract :
In this paper a generic 2D Ray tracing channel modeling tool is proposed. The proposed tool has been optimized for GPU architecture. Two examples for different types of applications have been presented and used to profile the tool. Comparative results have been presented for different parameters and examples. Due to its high speed, the proposed tool is useful for system optimization for large EM problems such as automotive radar application.
