For electromagnetic analysis using method of moments (MoM), three-dimensional (3-D) arbitrary conducting surfaces are often discretized in Rao, Wilton and Glisson basis functions. The MoM Galerkin discretization the magnetic field integral equation (MFIE) includes a factor /spl Omega//sub 0/ equal to solid angle external surface at testing points, which is 2/spl pi/ everywhere on object, except edges or tips that constitute set zero measure. However, standard formulation MFIE with 0/=2/spl...

A novel algorithm, the compressed block decomposition (CBD), is presented for highly accelerated direct (noniterative) method of moments (MoM) solution electromagnetic scattering and radiation problems. The algorithm based on a block-wise subdivision MoM impedance matrix. Impedance matrix subblocks corresponding to distant subregions problem geometry are not calculated directly, but approximated in form. Subsequently, decomposed preserving compression. Examples typical problems range 5000...
Galerkin implementations of the method moments (MoM) electric-field integral equation (EFIE) have been traditionally carried out with divergence-conforming sets. The normal-continuity constraint across edges gives rise to cumbersome around junctions for composite objects and less accurate combined field (CFIE) closed sharp-edged conductors. We present a new MoM-discretization EFIE conductors based on nonconforming monopolar-RWG set, no continuity edges. This approach, which we call...

This paper addresses the direct (noniterative) solution of method-of-moments (MoM) linear system, accelerated through block-wise compression MoM impedance matrix. Efficient matrix block is achieved using adaptive cross-approximation (ACA) algorithm and truncated singular value decomposition (SVD) postcompression. Subsequently, a applied that preserves allows for fast by backsubstitution. Although not as some iterative methods very large problems, has several desirable features, including:...
The adaptive cross approximation (ACA) algorithm, when used to accelerate the numerical solution of integral equations for radiation and scattering problems, sometimes suffers from inaccuracies. These inaccuracies occur ACA convergence criterion, which is based on an residual relative error, prematurely satisfied. This paper identifies two sources this problem proposes adaptations algorithm that remedy them.

The volumetric monopolar-RWG discretization of the electric-field integral equation (EFIE) imposes no continuity constraint across edges in surface around a closed conductor. current is expanded with set and electric field tested over tetrahedral elements attached to boundary surface. This scheme facet-oriented therefore, well suited for scattering analysis nonconformal meshes or composite objects. observed accuracy, though, only competitive respect RWG-discretization restricted range...
This paper presents a new graphical processing technique for fast computation of PO surface integral. In contrast with the original approach introduced by authors in 1993, one combines novel shadowing algorithm together conventional facet-based Gordon's formula, instead pixel-based Asvestas' approximation. The resulting hybrid needs more CPU power very complex radar targets, but is free from pixel discretization noise inherent to processing. It has same accuracy as Physical Optics...
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in developing invisibility cloaks that can conceal an object. These techniques are often based either on coating dielectric or conducting object with homogeneous plasmonic layer of negative permittivity [1] creating multilayer structure [2] cancels the scattering cloaked (i.e., cancelation technique). The technique may also be inhomogeneous bends electromagnetic waves around region occupied by without interacting it transformation optics...

The accuracy of the adaptive cross approximation (ACA) algorithm, a popular method for compression low-rank matrix blocks in moment computations, is sometimes seriously compromised by unpredictable errors convergence criterion. This article proposes an alternative criterion based on global sampling error elements ACA compressed matrix. depends not only size sample but also population distribution error, which makes it difficult to control independently underlying problem. However, as argued...
Nonconforming implementations of the electric-field integral equation (EFIE), based on facet-oriented monopolar-RWG set, impose no continuity constraints in expansion current between adjacent facets. These schemes become more versatile than traditional edge-oriented schemes, RWG because they simplify management junctions composite objects and allow analysis nonconformal triangulations. Moreover, for closed moderately small conductors with edges corners, show improved accuracy respect to...

The surface integral equation (SIE) method, discretized with the method of moments, is a well-established methodology for scattering analysis subwavelength plasmonic nanoparticles. SIEs are usually low-order basis functions that preserve normal continuity currents across edges arising in meshed boundary, such as Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) functions. However, enhancement modeling on sharp-edged particles an extremely challenging task, especially due to singular fields exerted at sharp corners,...
