Application of Adaptive Integral Method To Scattering and Radiation Analysis of Arbitrarily Shaped Planar Structures

The adaptive integral method (AIM) is applied to the scattering and radiation analysis of arbitrarily shaped planar structures. The method extends the well-known conjugate gradient fast Fourier transform (CGFFT) method to the triangular subdomain discretization, which has a much better geometry modeling capability than the rectangular subdomain discretization employed in the traditional CGFFT method. The resulting algorithm has a memory requirement proportional to O(N) and the operation count for the matrix-vector multiplication proportional to O(N log N). Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of this method.
