To overcome this limitation, this paper presents a simple and effective technique for generating OAM beams using an all-metallic structure suitable for high-power microwave applications. The proposed design is validated through both simulations and experimental characterization of its OAM properties.

Unlike traditional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm, multi-resolution time-domain (MRTD), and sampling biorthogonal time-domain (SBTD) methods, the ADI–SBTD technique retains unconditional stability, thus enabling reliable transient simulations at significantly larger time steps. This leads to a substantial reduction in computational effort without compromising accuracy. The method is exhaustively validated against both the SPICE simulations and the SBTD approach, demonstrating excellent agreement with an average error of less than 1% in the several key performance parameters for examining the transient crosstalk effects in C-TGVs. Comparative studies demonstrate that the ADI-SBTD computational framework achieves accuracy at par with both the SBTD and SPICE-based results, thus confirming its reliability and effectiveness for high-fidelity signal analysis in three-dimensional (3D) integrated systems. Moreover, this approach exhibits superior computational efficiency than the SBTD, thus making it a practical solution for addressing the issues of electromagnetic interference and electromagnetic compatibility in 3D integration.","PeriodicalId":52176,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques","volume":"11 ","pages":"100-112"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146175822","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}

Two dimensional obliquely incident plane wave is considered. Materials in all layers can be lossy or lossless generalized anisotropic. Maxwell's equations are first reformulated to yield a matrix form depending on four unknown transverse field components being tangential to the layer interface. A PQ decomposition of the coefficient matrix produces four eigenvalues which represent the transverse dependence of forward and backward propagating waves along the normal direction of the layer interface. Layer S-matrices are then derived for describing wave propagation from one layer to another. The full S-matrix for the whole composite is produced via cascading the layer S-matrices from the top layer to the bottom one. It relates the incident wave to the transmitted and reflected waves. Reflection and transmission coefficients of co- and cross-polarized waves are then obtained. Perfect electric conductor boundary condition is integrated into the multi-layer composite via modification of layer S-matrix for the first time. Fields in the composite are constructed via layer S-matrices.","PeriodicalId":52176,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques","volume":"11 ","pages":"68-77"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146082142","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 wideband and wide angle radar cross section (RCS) analysis of thin multi-layer coated scatterers requires dense sampling in frequency angle space, making accurate and efficient modeling of coating-induced multiple reflections challenging in practice. These coating effects are modeled by a branchwise generalized equivalent reflection (GER) embedded in a surface current formulation in this work. Multilevel schemes then reduce the computational cost by interpolating scattered fields from sparse samples, but their accuracy is limited by phase-reference misalignment. On wavelength-scale quadratic patches, the region-center reference can deviate from branch-dependent stationary-phase centers, causing interpolation errors and oversampling. To address this, a physics-guided equivalent phase compensation (EPC) scheme is developed that selects branchwise equivalent phase centers from relevant critical points and forms a coherent phase reference. Numerical examples demonstrate accurate wideband and wide angle RCS prediction for five-layer coated scatterers with electrical sizes up to 1,167<inline-formula><tex-math>$lambda$</tex-math></inline-formula>.

A key innovation is the derivation of phase gradient-based adaptive sampling interval formulas for quadratic patches, applicable to calculation of scattered near and far fields, which addresses the over-sampling issue in PO method. Also, adaptive mesh distribution generated via the phase gradient and local error of scattered field is analyzed in view of high-frequency wave physics. Moreover, the edge grid segmentation (EGS) approach is proposed to smoothen shadowed boundaries, ensuring the more accurate lit region data for calculation. Numerical results demonstrate that both the phase gradient-based ALFPO (PG-ALFPO) and scattered field error-based ALFPO (FE-ALFPO) outperform the linear amplitude-based fast physical optics (LFPO) method and FEKO software. They reduce the number of patches by one or two orders of magnitude while maintaining accuracy. Notably, the PG-ALFPO directly reflects high-frequency physical mechanisms. Both ALFPO methods achieve memory savings at the cost of CPU time, with PG-ALFPO exhibiting nearly twice the efficiency of FE-ALFPO. In short, the ALFPO methods along with EGS approach provide a significant way to solve near-field scattering features of electrically large target.","PeriodicalId":52176,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques","volume":"11 ","pages":"146-155"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147665505","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}
