Comparison of Higher Order FEM and MoM/SIE Approaches in Analyses of Closed- and Open-Region Electromagnetic Problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the efficiency of the two most popular frequency-domain approaches in computational electromagnetics (CEM); the finite element method (FEM) and the method of moments based on the surface integral equation (MoM/SIE), both in the context of the higher order modeling. We compare the performances of the two approaches in two simple three-dimensional (3-D) problems with similar meshes, chosen as benchmark examples. The chosen examples demonstrate full-wave analysis of a wave-guiding structure (a closed-region problem) and a scatterer in free space (an open-region problem).

Higher Order Electromagnetic Modeling for Wireless Technology Applications
This paper presents our development of novel higher order electromagnetic (EM) modeling techniques for wireless technology applications based on the method of moments (MoM), finite element method (FEM), and physical optics (PO). Modern wireless systems involve electrically large EM structures (antennas, circuits, and components) that are very complex in both geometry and material composition. T...
متن کاملRevised Manuscript R2 WITHOUT Highlighting Changes WITH biographies
Abstract—A novel diakoptic method based on volume integral equation (VIE) modeling of subsystems is proposed for 3-D electromagnetic analysis. The theoretical foundation of the method are the surface and volume equivalence principles, as it combines the VIE and surface integral equation (SIE) formulations, in conjunction with the method of moments (MoM). The method breaks the original structu...
متن کاملApplication of Hierarchical Higher-order Tangential Vector Finite Elements in a Hybrid Fem/mom Method
Hybrid FEM/MoM methods combine the finite element method (FEM) and the method of moments (MoM) to model inhomogeneous unbounded problems. These two methods are coupled by enforcing field continuity on the boundary that separates the FEM and MoM regions. Hierarchical higher-order tangential vector finite elements (TVFE’s) are of practical interest because they can be easily combined with low-ord...

A higher order large-domain hybrid finite element – method of moments (FEM-MoM) technique is presented. The discretization and solving FEM and MoM parts of the problem and the coupling of the two methods is described. A benchmark example of analysis of a scatterer with pronounced curvature at resonant frequency is given, demonstrating accuracy and robustness of the presented hybrid technique.

Hybrid FEM/MoM methods combine the finite element method (FEM) and the method of moments (MoM) to model inhomogeneous unbounded problems. These two methods are coupled by enforcing the continuity of tangential fields on the boundary that separates the FEM and MoM regions. When modeling complex geometries with many elements on the boundary, the MoM part of the problem is the bottleneck of the hy...
