FAST SOLUTION OF TRANSIENT SCATTERING FROM ELECTRICALLY LARGE COMPLEX OBJECTS BASED ON TIME DOMAIN INTEGRAL EQUATION SOLVERS

A fast Time Domain Integral Equation(TDIE) solver is presented for analysis of transient scattering from electrically large conducting complex objects.The numerical process of Marching-On-in-Time(MOT) method based TDIE encounters high computational cost and exorbitant memory requirements.A group-style accelerated method-Plane Wave Time Domain(PWTD) algorithm,which permits rapid evaluation of transient wave field generated by temporally bandlimited sources,is employed to reduce the computational cost of MOT-based TDIE solvers.An efficient compressed storage technique for sparse matrix is adopted to decrease the enormous memory requirements of MOT.The scheme of the Multi-Level PWTD(MLPWTD)-enhanced MOT with compressed storage for sparse matrix is presented for analysis of transient scattering from electrically large complex objects in this paper.The numerical simulation results demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the presented scheme.

Time Domain Analysis of Transmit/Receive Dipole Pair Array

We introduce a new transmit/receive dipole pair array to obtain a compact quasi\|monostatic antenna structure for ground penetrating radar systems. And we analyze this transmit/receive dipole pair array in time domain. The numerical results show that if the distance between the transmit antenna and receive antenna is appropriate the array configuration is adoptable.

Time-Domain Analysis of a Wire Antenna Near Arbitrarily Shaped Conductor Bodies

A time domain electric al field integral equation (TDEFIE) is formulated for the problem of a thin wire antenna in the presence of conductor bodies, and this equation is solved by the method of time marching algorithm. The analysis is valid for any arbitrarily shaped, oriented and positioned wire antennas relative to arbitrarily shaped conductor bodies. Current at the excited point, input admittance and radiation pattern are given and agree with the results computed by the method in frequency domain.

On hybrid temporal basis functions for stable numerical solution of time domain boundary integral equations

Problems in unsteady aerodynamics and aeroacoustics can sometimes be formulated as integral equations,such as the boundary integral equations.Numerical discretization of integral equations in the time domain often leads to so-called March-On-in-Time(MOT)schemes.In the literature,the temporal basis functions used in MOT schemes have been largely limited to low-order shifted Lagrange basis functions.In order to evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of the temporal basis functions,a Fourier analysis of the temporal interpolation schemes is carried out.Based on the Fourier analysis,the spectral resolutions of various temporal basis functions are quantified.It is argued that hybrid temporal basis functions be used for interpolation of the numerical solution and its derivatives with respect to time.Stability of the proposed hybrid schemes is studied by a matrix eigenvalue method.Substantial improvement in accuracy and efficiency by using the hybrid temporal basis functions for time domain integral equations is demonstrated by numerical examples.Compared with the traditional temporal basis functions,the use of hybrid basis functions keeps numerical errors low for a larger frequency range given the same time step size.Conversely,for a given range of frequency of interest,a larger time step can be used with the hybrid temporal basis functions,resulting in an increase in computational efficiency and,at the same time,a reduction in memory requirement.

A NEW SINGULARITY EXTRACTION TECHNIQUE FOR TDEFIE

A new singularity extraction technique is presented to calculate accurately the singular integrals in Time Domain Electric Field Integral Equation (TDEFIE).In singularity extraction pro- cedure,through the aid of the first order Taylor series of time base function including time-retardation,the singularity of the integrand can be removed.The surface current density and backscattered far-field response of a conducting cube illuminated by a Gaussian plane wave is com- puted using the presented technique.Comparisons are made with the results obtained by the Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) of the frequency domain and the results obtained by using Ve- chinski's time averaging technique,which demonstrate that the presented method with this new time domain singularity extraction technique to solve TDEFIE is very accurate and stable.
