Hybrid Technique for the EM Scattering Analysis with the Use of Ring Domain Decomposition

Abstract

A hybrid technique combining finite-element and mode-matching methods for the analysis of scattering problems in open space is presented here. The main idea is based on impedance matrix descriptions of the boundary surrounding the discrete computational domain and combine it with external field described analytically. The discrete analysis, which is the most time- and memory-consuming, is limited here only to the close proximity of the posts or fragments of post which geometry is complex. All the obtained results have been verified by comparison with simulations performed using alternative methods or commercial software.
