Application of an IE-Based Domain Decomposition Method for Analysis of Planar Microstrip Array Structures: Mesh less Approach

摘要

In this paper, application of an integral equation based domain decomposition method (DDM), developed for numerical solution of one-dimensional Fredholm integral equations of the second kind, is extended to electric field and mixed potential integral equations in two dimensions. Even though the original DDM was developed based on the Nystrom method, results of the present work shows that meshfree approach can also be utilized. The extended DDM is employed for efficient meshfree analysis of planar microstrip array structures in the sense of reduced-size shape function and stiffness matrices. Results are validated by method of moments.
