Electromagnetic scattering from rough surface using single integral equation and adaptive integral method

An efficient algorithm for electromagnetic wave scattering from rough dielectric surfaces is developed. The algorithm is based on the single magnetic field integral equation (SMFIE) and the surface is discretized using Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) triangular basis functions. The new feature of the algorithm is the application of the adaptive integral method (AIM) with SMFIE for speeding up the calculation. The developed new method utilizes the flexibility of RWG functions to model arbitrary rough surface and the speed of FFT, enabling accurate simulations over large surfaces.
