It is found that the deterioration on radiation efficiency is limited and the transparency remains for practical applications, if the wire-grid is chosen appropriately.","PeriodicalId":178493,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Asia-Pacific Conference on Antennas and Propagation","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124042642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first multi-scale problem is solving electromagnetic scattering from a perfectly electric conductor with complicated geometry. A hybrid IE-DDM-MLFMA with Gauss-Seidel iteration is developed. As non-overlapping DDM, it has the advantage of flexible dividing domain and no buffer zone. The Gauss-Seidel iteration is proposed to update the currents on each sub-domain in real time, so the number of outer iterations is reduced greatly. The second multi-scale problem is electromagnetic analysis of large antenna array. To realize efficient solution, the tangential equivalence principle algorithm (T-EPA) combined with characteristic basis functions (CBFs) is presented. By utilizing the CBFs together with T-EPA, the analysis of large scale arrays will be more efficient with decreased unknowns compared with original T-EPA. Numerical results are shown to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the present methods.","PeriodicalId":178493,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Asia-Pacific Conference on Antennas and Propagation","volume":"50 46","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134225898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
