Fast integral equation techniques for propagation problems

Abstract

In this paper, the Method of Moments (MoM) solution is achieved for scattering problems by using the stationary Spectrally Accelerated Forward-Backward method (FBSA) and the non-stationary Spectrally Accelerated BiConjugate Gradient Stabilized (SA-BiCGSTAB) method, with a storage requirement and a computational cost of O(N) per iteration where N is the number of surface unknowns in the discretized integral equation. The SA-BiCGSTAB method is applied over rough terrain profiles as well as re-entrant surfaces which can not be handled by any conventional stationary iterative technique.
