Abstract

In this work, we present an alternate set of basis functions, each defined over a pair of planar triangular patches, for the method of moments solution of electromagnetic scattering and radiation problems associated with arbitrarily shaped, closed, conducting surfaces. The present basis functions are point‐wise orthogonal to the pulse basis functions previously defined. The prime motivation to develop the present set of basis functions is to utilize them for the electromagnetic solution of dielectric bodies using a surface integral equation formulation which involves both electric and magnetic currents. However, in the present work, only the conducting body solution is presented and compared with other data. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
