Fast Analysis of Scattering by Arbitrarily Shaped Three-Dimensional Objects Using the Precorrected-FFT Method

This paper presents an accurate and efficient method-of-moments solution of the electrical-field integral equation (EFIE) for large, three-dimensional, arbitrarily shaped objects. In this method, the generalized conjugate residual method (GCR) is used to solve the matrix equation iteratively and the...

description This paper presents an accurate and efficient method-of-moments solution of the electrical-field integral equation (EFIE) for large, three-dimensional, arbitrarily shaped objects. In this method, the generalized conjugate residual method (GCR) is used to solve the matrix equation iteratively and the precorrected-FFT technique is then employed to accelerate the matrix-vector multiplication in iterations. The precorrected-FFT method eliminates the need to generate and store the usual square impedance matrix, thus leading to a great reduction in memory requirement and execution time. It is at best an O(N log N) algorithm and can be modified to fit a wide variety of systems with different Green’s functions without excessive effort. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and computational efficiency of the technique.
