Generalization of Surface Junction Modeling for Composite Objects in an SIE/MoM Formulation Using a Systematic ApproachAbstract
This paper discusses the modeling of various kinds of surface junctions in an SIE/MoM formulation applied to complex objects consisting of arbitrarily shaped conducting and dielectric bodies. Methods of describing various types of junctions and systematically incorporating them in numerical solutions are presented. The procedures are of interest for the specific application of arbitrarily shaped dielectric resonator antennas and their associated feed structures and packaging. An E-PMCHWT forumation in conjuction with a moment method procedure using multi-domain RWG basis functions is presented to deal with such general junctions. Some results are verified with the FDTD method.
