Abstract

See full text

A computer program product, an apparatus, and a method for modeling equivalent surface sources on a closed, arbitrarily shaped object that result from the imposition of an arbitrary time-harmonic incident field (e.g., a radar wave) are provided. An object divided into by a plurality of patches 302 and parameters for the incident field and the properties of the object 304 are provided to the system. Next, the system produces a discretized representation of a well-conditioned boundary integral equation in the form of a well-conditioned matrix equation, modeling the interaction between the incident field and the object 306. The well-conditioned linear system is solved numerically to determine equivalent surface sources on the object 308. The equivalent sources may then be used to determine electromagnetic fields resulting therefrom 310. The invention provides improved computational efficiency as well as increased modeling accuracy by effectively reducing the numerical precision necessary.
