The generalized multipole technique is a new method for solving electromagnetic boundary value problems. A set of basis functions is used which may be thought of as equivalent sources which are displaced from the boundary of the scatterer. Actually any discrete set of solutions to Maxwell's equation

✦ Synopsis
Automatic multipoles placement in the Generalized Multipole Technique (GMT) generates also multipoles that are not necessary for obtaining accurate solutions and may prevent numerical stability. It is therefore important to find out these multipoles and to eliminate them. Two procedures for identifying the redundant multipoles are proposed by using either the singular value decomposition or the rank revealing QR decomposition. Simulation results for both cases show significant improvement in numerical stability as a result of removing the redundant multipoles. A comparison between the two methods is presented for the example of a horn antenna with a radiating elliptical aperture.

The Boundary Integral Equation Method reduces the spatial dimension of an elliptic problem by converting the original n-dimensional partial differential equation to an (n -1).dimensional boundary integral equation defined on the boundary of the domain of the original problem. At the same time, the d
