On efficient solution of large-size wire-grid structures in a complex environment by Lee, Yee Hui.

“…In this study, four numerical techniques (1) wavelet transform method (WTM) (2) modified fast multipole method (MFMM) (3) adaptive segmentation method (ASM) (4) weak coupling suppression method (WCSM) for the efficient solution of large-size electromagnetic (EM) problems have been studied. These techniques have been implemented onto a popular simulation software - Numerical Electro-magnetic Code (NEC), which uses the method of moment (MoM) for the solution of EM problems in a complex environment. …”
