Numerical study of a novel MFIE formulation using monopolar RWG basis functions (Q614992): Difference between revisions

The authors study the numerical character of a recently proposed new magnetic field integral equation (MFIE) formulation solved by using the method of moments (MoM). Monopolar Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) functions are used as both the basis and the testing functions in the Galerkin's method for the new formulation. They present a detail calculation for the impedance matrix elements of the new formulation with a form suitable for programming. Numerical results for electromagnetic scattering analysis of several small sharp-edged conducting objects show that the new formulation using the monopolar RWG basis functions is much more accurate than the traditional formulation using the RWG and the monopolar RWG basis functions.
