Abstract
Calculating characteristic modes of dielectric objects with the volume integral operator (VIO) is computationally inefficient. The volumetric mesh generates a large impedance matrix and results in a time-consuming eigenvalue equation-solving process. Skeletonization is employed to improve the efficiency of the VIO-based method by leveraging the rank-deficient property. Both the memory and time required for assembling impedance matrices are significantly reduced. The repeated matrix-vector multiplications involved in solving the eigenvalue equation are expedited. Numerical examples are presented to validate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method. Parameter optimization is performed to achieve a more practical and efficient algorithm setting.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (AWP Letters) is devoted to the rapid electronic publication of short manuscripts in the technical areas of Antennas and Wireless Propagation. These are areas of competence for the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S). AWPL aims to be one of the "fastest" journals among IEEE publications. This means that for papers that are eventually accepted, it is intended that an author may expect his or her paper to appear in IEEE Xplore, on average, around two months after submission.
