✦ Synopsis


Abstract

A preconditioner is applied to the electric‐field integral equation, to improve the convergence of iterative integral‐equation solvers, such as the conjugate‐gradient (CG) method. The preconditioner accounts for (expansion function)–(testing function) interactions in the vicinity of a given basis function, requiring order N complexity for N unknowns. Example results are presented for microwave scattering calculations for targets in the vicinity of a half space (soil), with results computed via a multilevel fast multipole algorithm. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

## Abstract The super‐hyper singularity treatment is developed for solving three‐dimensional (3D) electric field integral equations (EFIE). EFIE usually takes two forms: one of which includes a super‐hyper singular kernel generated by the double gradient of the Green's function. So far, there is no

## Abstract The conventional electric field integral equation (EFIE) is augmented by including charge as the extra unknown, so that the contributions of the vector potential and the scalar potential are separated to avoid the imbalance at low frequencies.
