Real-coefficient FGG-FG-FFT for the combined field integral equation

This article proposes a new scheme of real-coefficient fitting both Green’s function and its gradient with Fast Fourier Transform (RFGG-FG-FFT) for combined field integral equation (CFIE) to compute the conducting object’s electromagnetic scattering, which improves original fitting both Green’s function and its gradient with Fast Fourier Transform (FGG-FG-FFT) on efficiency. Firstly, based on Moore-Penrose generalized inverse, an equivalent form of fitting matrix equation is obtained containing the property of Green’s function’s integral proved by addition theorem. Based on this property, with truncated Green’s function new fitting technique is presented for computing fitting coefficients with real value expression, which is different from complex value expression by the original fitting technique in FGG-FG-FFT. Numerical analysis of error shows that new fitting technique has the same accuracy, but only one half of sparse matrices’ storage compared to the original fitting technique in FGG-FG-FFT. Finally, the new scheme combining FGG-FG-FFT and new fitting technique is constructed. Some examples show that the new scheme is accurate and effective compared to FGG-FG-FFT and p-FFT. © 2017, Electromagnetics Academy. All rights reserved.
