Discussion of moment method codes with emphasis on aperture coupling

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5341866
In this communication are discussed four numerical codes treating coupling through apertures to wires or other objects. Our intent is to point out advantages and disadvantages of these codes, in which recent interest has been shown. The codes discussed are time harmonic codes utilizing either an electric field integral equation or a reaction integral equation formulation. The four codes examined are: a triangular patch moment method code; a rectangular patch code; a body of revolution moment method code; and a hybrid code which uses both a moment method technique and a finite difference technique. Each code is examined with respect to the geometry of the scatterers for which it can be used. The solution method used, and with respect to various numerical considerations.
