一种旋转对称涂覆导体电磁散射高效分析方法

Efficient approach for electromagnetic scattering by coated conducting bodies of revolution

为改善传统方法分析旋转对称涂覆导体电磁散射问题的效率,提出了一种高效分析方法.该方法在介质表面建立电磁流混合场积分方程(Electric and Magnetic Current Combined Field Integral Equation,JMCFIE),在导体表面建立混合场积分方程(Combined Field Integral Equation,CFIE),利用了旋转对称体在空间上的旋转周期性,只需要对表面的母线进行剖分,具有未知量少且阻抗矩阵条件数好的特点.根据等效原理与边界条件推导了JMCFIE-CFIE方程,并与传统的PMCHW-CFIE方法对比了求解效率.数值算例表明该方法能明显改善方程的收敛性.

An efficient method is proposed to analyze the electromagnetic scattering from the coated conducting bodies of revolution (BOR). In terms of the final matrix equation to be solved by method of moments, the size of BOR matrix is much smaller than that of general structure since one need just discretize the BOR structure along a longitudinal by taking advantage of the rotational property of the object. However, the matrix will be still huge when the object is electrically large and the iterative solver is indispensable. The convergence speed of iterative solver depends on the condition number of the coefficient matrix. To improve the solving efficiency, we establishes a well-conditioned equation called the electric and magnetic current combined field integral equation (JMCFIE) over the medium surface instead of the conventional PMCHW equation scheme, whereas employs the combined field integral equation (CFIE) over the conductor surface which is same as the conventional scheme. A numerical comparison of the iterative convergence speed is made between JMCFIE-CFIE and PMCHW-CFIE, which demonstrates the improvement of JMCFIE-CFIE against PMCHW-CFIE.
