نویسندگان
چکیده
A method of moments solution of volume integral eqna,tions (VTEs) for scattering and radiation problems involving arbitrarily shaped inhomogeneous dielectric structures is presented. The inhomogeneous region is modeled using second order hexahedral elements whereas low order conformal basis functions within these elements are used for the method of moments expansion of the unknown. The resulting method is shown to deliver accura,te results a,nd the related algorithms have been ported on parallel computing platforms.
