A NEW ITERATIVE MOMENT METHOD SOLUTION FOR CONDUCTING BODIES OF REVOLUTION

Abstract

An iterative solution of the combined field integral equation (CFIE) has been obtained for perfectly conducting bodies. The proposed technique avoids the inversion of the moment method (MoM) matrix by using an iterative algorithm which shows fast convergence properties, mainly for large bodies. The algorithm is applied to several 3D problems involving bodies of revolution (BOR). Accurate currents are computed with important speedups over direct MoM solutions.
