PARAMETRIC MAPPING OF VECTOR BASIS FUNCTIONS FOR SURFACE INTEGRAL EQUATION FORMULATIONS

摘要

A parametric mapping of vector basis functions is presented for curved-patch discretizations of surface integral equations. The mapping of the vector basis function maintains the normal continuity of the surface current density at cell boundaries, and is therefore suitable for use with the electric-field integral equation. Expressions for the matrix elements associated with the electric and magnetic field integral equations are developed.
