MFIE can be shown to give more inaccurate results as compared to the EFIE for the solution of electromagnetic scattering problems with RWG functions. This inaccuracy is more evident when the problem involves geometries with sharp edges and tips. The investigation reported in this paper eliminates some of the possibilities that can be considered as the causes of the MFIE inaccuracy. There are other possible causes to consider, such as the quality of the current modeling based on the choice of the basis functions. Indeed, it can be shown that the accuracy of the MFIE is more dependent on the choice of the basis function than the EFIE, and that the inaccuracy of the MFIE can be controlled with the choice of basis functions.

Improving the accuracy of the MFIE with the choice of basis functions Ergül, Özgür Salih (2004-06-26) In the method-of-moments (MOM) and the fast-multipole-method (FMM) solutions of the electromagnetic scattering problems modeled by arbitrary planar triangulations, the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE) can be observed to give less accurate results compared to the electric-field integral equation (EFIE), if the current is expanded with the Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) basis functions. The inaccuracy is more evident for problem geometries with sharp edges or tips. This paper shows that the accuracy of the M...
On the Accuracy and Efficiency of Surface Formulations in Fast Analysis of Plasmonic Structures via MLFMA Karaosmanoglu, B.; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2016-08-11) We consider the accuracy and efficiency of surface integral equations, when they are used to formulate electromagnetic problems involving plasmonic objects at optical frequencies. Investigations on the iterative solutions of scattering problems with the multilevel fast multipole algorithm show that the conventional formulations, especially the state-of-the-art integral equations, can significantly be inaccurate, in contrast to their performances for ordinary dielectrics. The varying performances of the form...
Analysis of Lossy Dielectric Objects with the Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm Ergül, Özgür Salih (2011-07-08) Rigorous solutions of electromagnetics problems involving lossy dielectric objects are considered. Problems are formulated with two recently developed formulations, namely, the combined-tangential formulation (CTF) and the electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation (JMCFIE), and solved iteratively using the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). Accuracy and efficiency of solutions are compared for different objects and conductivity values. We show that iterative solutions of CTF a...
Improving the accuracy of the surface integral equations for low-contrast dielectric scatterers Ergül, Özgür Salih (2007-06-15) Solutions of scattering problems involving low-contrast dielectric objects are considered by employing surface integral equations. A stabilization procedure based on extracting the non-radiating part of the induced currents is applied so that the remaining radiating currents can be modelled appropriately and the scattered fields from the low-contrast objects can be calculated with improved accuracy. Stabilization is applied to both tangential (T) and normal (N) formulations in order to use the benefits of d...
A Numerical Model for Investigating the Effect of Rough Surface Parameters on Radar Cross Section Statistics Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2017-07-14) Electromagnetic scattering from rough surfaces is modeled by combining the periodic finite element method and the transformation electromagnetics approach. The behavior of the radar cross section (RCS) at both specular and backscattering directions is analyzed as a function of rms height and correlation length with the help of Monte Carlo simulations. The concept of backscattering enhancement is illustrated, and some conclusions are drawn about the RCS statistics.
