Abstract

A multi-tree scheme to apply low-frequency multilevel fast multipole algorithm (LF-MLFMA) to electrically small composite objects, is described. An implementation of basis rearrangement is also presented to make the algorithm stable and capable of solving problems with large number of unknowns. For the scalar potential part in impedance matrix, divergence is taken on tree (RWG) basis to represent charges. When number of unknowns increases, the iteration count increases and eventually iterative solver fails to converge. The interactions between single patches are calculated by applying LF-MLFMA with O(N) CPU time and memory usage.
