Space and time basis function design for the method of moments in time-domain analysis of wire and planar structures.

In this article, an algorithm able to deal at the same time with wire frame and surface patch models for the method of moments in time domain is presented. After a unified theory combining both models, attention is focused on stability dependence issues on the time basis function chosen and on other algorithm parameters. An accurate analysis of time interpolation functions and of their time filtering properties is provided. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2011. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
