The Mixed-Order BCGS-FFT Method for the Scattering of Three-Dimensional Inhomogeneous Anisotropic Magnetodielectric Objects
This paper presents the first FFT-based fast volume integral equation solver for inhomogeneous anisotropic magnetodielectric objects. The volume integral equations are formulated by employing mixed-order basis functions that expand the flux densities and vector potentials in the coupled field integral equations in terms of different sets of basis functions with different orders. Volumetric roof-top basis functions are used for flux densities whereas second-order curl conforming basis functions are used for vector potentials. A fast volume integral equations solver namely the BCGS-FFT method is then applied to accelerate the solution of this mixed-order weak-form formulation. Examples show that the mixed-order BCGS-FFT method has high accuracy compared to both analytical and numerical solutions. Examples also show the mixed-order BCGS-FFT method has high computational efficiency compared to commercial software.
