1. Electromagnetic modeling of composite metallic and dielectric structures
Introduction. Method of Moments. Integral or differential equation？
Surface or volume formulation? Surface integral equations (EFIE,PMCHW).
Test procedures (Galerkin). Geometrical modeling of wires and surfaces
(right truncated cones, triangles, bilinear surfaces). Wire-to-plate
junctions. Meshing. Sub-domain and entire-domain approximation.
Continuity of currents and charges. Edge effect. Stability of solution.
Examples: TV-UHF panel antenna. Shielded solid dielectric horn. Stacked
patch antenna. Base station antenna with cosecant characteristic at 60
GHz. 2 quarter-wavelength monopole antennas mounted on airplane.
Iterative solution. Maximally orthogonalized higher order basis functions.
Preconditioning: Scaling of basis functions. Smart reduction of
expansion orders. Paralelization. PO driven method of moments. Efficient
time-domain solution (FFT). Single minima and multiminima optimization
methods.
