The reflection and dispersion characteristics of multilayer structures that involve periodically implanted material blocks are obtained by using the MoM solution of the volume integral equation. The asymptotic waveform evaluation (AWE) technique is utilized to obtain a Pade approximation of the solution in terms of a parameter such as frequency or incident angle. The use of AWE technique enables a fast sweep with respect to the approximation parameter. Moreover, a robust method for extracting the dispersion characteristics of periodic structures via Pade approximation is proposed. The AWE procedure requires the calculation of high order derivatives of the complicated kernel function that consists of Green's functions for stratified medium. These derivatives are calculated by employing the Automatic Differentiation Theory. The reflection coefficient, propagation constant and band diagram of the structure are obtained both via point-by-point simulations and through the use of AWE technique. It is observed that AWE technique increases the computational efficiency without losing accuracy.

In this letter, we consider iterative solutions of the three-dimensional electromagnetic scattering problems formulated by surface integral equations. We show that solutions of the electric-field integral equation (EFIE) can be improved by employing an iterative least-squares QR (LSQR) algorithm. Compared to many other Krylov subspace methods, LSQR provides faster convergence and it becomes an alternative choice to the time-efficient no-restart generalized minimal residual (GMRES) algorithm that requires la...

Ergül, Özgür Salih (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-03-01)
The solution of scattering problems involving low-contrast dielectric objects with three-dimensional arbitrary shapes is considered. Using the traditional forms of the surface integral equations, scattered fields cannot be calculated accurately if the contrast of the object is low. Therefore, we consider the stabilization of the formulations by extracting the nonradiating parts of the equivalent currents. We also investigate various types of stable formulations and show that accuracy can be improved systema...

Along with the formulation and a clear demonstration of the EPA-PIE mechanism, high accuracy, stabi...
