Entire-Domain Basis Function with Segmented Edge Condition Applied for Scattering Structures

Abstract

Abstract This paper proposes the formulation of a sinusoidal basis function with a novel segmented edge condition to model the impulsive behavior of the surface electric current density at the edges of rectangular microstrip scatterers. In comparison to traditional basis functions, the one considered in this approach demands using very few modes to expand the induced current. The effectiveness of the proposed formulation is validated using the commercial electromagnetic simulator Ansys Designer. Good agreement between the results obtained with the proposed formulation and with the commercial software has been obtained.
