Efficient Analysis of Surface-Wire Configurations Using AIM and Best Uniform Rational Approximation

The Adaptive integral method (AIM) in conjunction with the best uniform approximation technique is applied to analyze the electromagnetic problems of surface-wire junction geometries over a wide frequency band. To improve the computation efficiency, the best uniform approximation method is utilized. The AIM can reduce memory requirements and accelerate the matrix-vector multiplications in iterative process. Some numerical examples are shown to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method. Compared with the direct solution method and Asymptotic waveform evaluation (AWE) technique, the proposed technique is found to be efficient in a broadband with the lower Central processing unit (CPU) time required and without loss of accuracy.
