Windowed Green function method for layered-media scattering
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: This paper introduces a new Windowed Green Function (WGF) method for the numerical integral-equation solution of problems of electromagnetic scattering by obstacles in presence of dielectric or conducting half-planes. The WGF method, which is based on use of smooth windowing functions and integral kernels that can be expressed directly in terms of the free-space Green function, does not require evaluation of expensive Sommerfeld integrals. The proposed approach is fast, accurate, flexible and easy to implement. In particular, straightforward modifications of existing (accelerated or unaccelerated) solvers suffice to incorporate the WGF capability. The mathematical basis of the method is simple: the method relies on a certain integral equation posed on the union of the boundary of the obstacle and a small flat section of the interface between the penetrable media. Numerical experiments demonstrate that both the near- and far-field errors resulting from the proposed approach decrease faster than any negative power of the window size. In the examples considered in this paper the proposed method is up to thousands of times faster, for a given accuracy, than a corresponding method based on the layer-Green-function.
This paper focuses on a new windowed Green function method for the numerical integral-equation solution of problems of electromagnetic scattering by obstacles. The abstract setting corresponds to the presence of dielectric or conducting half-planes. After a formal error analysis of the method, based on multiple-scattering perturbation theory, the authors develop the main results in Section 4. The windowed Green function method developed strongly relies on apodization techniques used in optics, as well as on tapering or Hann functions utilized in signal processing. A variety of numerical results demonstrate the accuracy and the speed of the proposed approach.
