Numerical Methods for Solving the Problem of Electromagnetic Scattering From Large Bodies

In the past two decades, the conventional method of moments (MoM) utilizing the subdomain basis functions has been widely used to solve a variety of electromagnetic scattering problems. However, the size of the scatterers that can be analyzed by using MoM is limited to only a few wavelengths due to the storage requirements in the computer. In this report, two approaches that allow one to circumvent the storage problem inherent in the conventional MoM are investigated and applied to various types of large thin scatterers.
