A rigorous integral equation formulation for the analysis of a phased array of flangemounted waveguide apertures is given for a finite number of elements and nonuniform spacings. The resulting set of ihtegrd equations is reduced to a matrix equation called the coupling matrix which relates the coefficients of all the modes in all the waveguides to one another. The solution then yields the dominant mode reflection coefficient, coefficients of scattered modes and hence the field in each waveguide. The blockToeplitr symmetry property for the uniformly spaced linear and rectangular grid arrays is utilized in the solution of the system of equations.

Hybrid Surface Integral Equations for Optimal Analysis of Perfectly Conducting Bodies
Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2015-07-24)
We consider hybrid formulations involving simultaneous applications of the electric-field integral equation (EFIE), the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE), and the combined-field integral equation (CFIE) for the electromagnetic analysis of three-dimensional conductors with arbitrary geometries. By selecting EFIE, MFIE, and CFIE regions on a given object, and optimizing these regions in accordance with the simulation requirements, one can construct an optimal hybrid-field integral equation (HFIE) that p...
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...
Linear-linear basis functions for MLFMA solutions of magnetic-field and combined-field integral equations
Ergül, Özgür Salih (2007-04-01)
We present the linear-linear (LL) basis functions to improve the accuracy of the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE) and the combined-field integral equation (CFIE) for three-dimensional electromagnetic scattering problems involving closed conductors. We consider the solutions of relatively large scattering problems by employing the multilevel fast multipole algorithm. Accuracy problems of MFIE and CFIE arising from their implementations with the conventional Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) basis functions can...
Least squares differential quadrature time integration scheme in the dual reciprocity boundary element method solution of convection-diffusion problems
Bozkaya, Canan (2005-03-18)
The least squares differential quadrature method (DQM) is used for solving the ordinary differential equations in time, obtained from the application of the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) for the spatial partial derivatives in convection-diffusion type problems. The DRBEM enables us to use the fundamental solution of the Laplace equation which is easy to implement computationally. The time derivative and the convection terms are considered as the nonhomogeneity in the equation which are ap...
Least-squares finite element solution of Euler equations with adaptive mesh refinement
Akargün, Hayri Yiğit; Sert, Cüneyt; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2012)
Least-squares finite element method (LSFEM) is employed to simulate 2-D and axisymmetric flows governed by the compressible Euler equations. Least-squares formulation brings many advantages over classical Galerkin finite element methods. For non-self-adjoint systems, LSFEM result in symmetric positive-definite matrices which can be solved efficiently by iterative methods. Additionally, with a unified formulation it can work in all flight regimes from subsonic to supersonic. Another advantage is that, the me...
