Comparison between higher and lower order basis functions for 2D electromagnetic simulations

摘要

We present comparison of higher order basis functions to lower orders, when applied to analysis of 2D electromagnetic structures. To illustrate the performances, several numerical examples have been analyzed. We use method of moments applied to surface integral equations for simulations. The criteria for the comparison are: the accuracy of results, the total simulation time, the total number of unknown coefficients and the memory needed for simulation.
