This paper presents an efficient approach for evaluating the Sommerfeld integrals in the spectral domain, whose integrands typically show an oscillatory and slowly decaying behavior at high frequencies, e.g., in the millimeter wave regime. It is well known that these integrals arise in the representations of the dyadic Green's functions of layered media and efficient computation of these Green's functions is key to rapid CEM modeling of patch antennas and printed circuits designed for 5G applications in the millimeter wave range. The underlying concept of the approach proposed herein is to partition the spectral domain representation of a Green's function into multiple domains and to represent the envelope of the integrand in each domain with a few exponentials such that the integrals in these domains can be evaluated analytically very efficiently and accurately in a numerically stable manner. Additionally, a new interpolation strategy is proposed in this work to decrease the matrix fill time in the MoM (Method of Moments) solution of the integral equations whose kernels contain Green's functions mentioned above. The performance enhancement realized by using the proposed approaches is demonstrated through several illustrative examples.

Efficient Computation of Green's Functions for Multilayer Media in the Context of 5G Applications
Mittra, Raj; Özgün, Özlem; Li, Chao; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2021-03-22)
This paper presents a novel method for effective computation of Sommerfeld integrals which arise in problems involving antennas or scatterers embedded in planar multilayered media. Sommerfeld integrals that need to be computed in the evaluation of spatial-domain Green's functions are often highly oscillatory and slowly decaying. For this reason, standard numerical integration methods are not efficient for such integrals, especially at millimeter waves. The main motivation of the proposed method is to comput...

© 2021 IEEE.In this study, a novel approach is presented for efficient evaluation of Sommerfeld integrals arising in spatial-domain Green's functions in planar multilayered media. This approach allows us to tackle the difficulties encountered during the integration of the Sommerfeld integrals, which exhibit highly oscillatory and slowly decaying nature occurring especially at very high frequencies, e.g., at millimeter waves, that are finding increasing use in applications such as 5G and beyond. The oscillat...
The use of curl-conforming basis functions for the magnetic-field integral equation
Ergül, Özgür Salih (2006-07-01)
Divergence-conforming Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) functions are commonly used in integral-equation formulations to model the surface current distributions on planar triangulations. In this paper, a novel implementation of the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE) employing the curl-conforming (n) over tilde x RWG basis and testing functions is introduced for improved current modelling. Implementation details are outlined in the contexts of the method of moments, the fast multipole method, and the multilevel ...
A Novel Approach for the Efficient Computation of 1-D and 2-D Summations
Karabulut, E. Pinar; ERTÜRK, VAKUR BEHÇET; Alatan, Lale; Karan, S.; Alisan, Burak; Aksun, M. I. (2016-03-01)
A novel computational method is proposed to evaluate 1-D and 2-D summations and integrals which are relatively difficult to compute numerically. The method is based on applying a subspace algorithm to the samples of partial sums and approximating them in terms of complex exponentials. For a convergent summation, the residue of the exponential term with zero complex pole of this approximation corresponds to the result of the summation. Since the procedure requires the evaluation of relatively small number of...
A Non-Galerkin Spatial-Domain Approach for Efficient Calculation of the Dispersion Characteristics of Microstrip Lines
Guedue, Tamer; Alatan, Lale (2008-07-11)
In the analysis of dispersion characteristics of microstrip lines, spectral domain approaches has been preferred as opposed to the spatial domain calculations since the spatial domain Green's functions corresponding to the microstrip structure require the numerical evaluation of inverse Fourier transform integrals which are computationally expensive. However as demonstrated in Bernal, J. et al, (2000), the discrete complex image representation of the spatial domain Greenpsilas functions eliminates the need ...
