Fast solution of electromagnetic scattering problems with multiple excitations using the recompressed adaptive cross approximation

Abstract

We present an algebraic compression technique to accelerate the computation of multiple monostatic radar cross sections of arbitrary 3-D geometries. The method uses adaptive cross approximation, followed by a recompression technique to reduce the CPU time and the memory consumption. Each scattering problem due to a single excitation is solved with the multilevel fast multipole algorithm. The numerical results demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method. © 2014 IEEE.
