Geometry Based Preconditioner for Radiation Problems Involving Wire and Surface Basis Functions

Progress In Electromagnetics Research, Vol. 93, 29-40, 2009
Abstract
An innovative preconditioner has been developed in this work. It significantly improves the convergence of the iterative solvers applied to electromagnetic radiation problems by a renormalization of the matrix equation. The preconditioner balances the disparities in terms of magnitude and units caused by the strong self-coupling of the antennas, the non-uniformity of the meshes and also by the coexistence of wire and surface basis functions. It can be easily integrated into different electromagnetic solvers with a negligible impact on the computational cost on account of its simple implementation.
