Abstract

The solution of time-domain integral equations pertinent to scattering from perfectly conducting objects residing in unbounded lossy media is considered. The computational cost of classical marching-on-in-time (MOT) schemes for the solution of such equations scales as O(Nt2N s2), where Nt and Ns are the number of temporal and spatial unknowns, respectively. In this letter, a fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based algorithm that reduces the computational complexity to O(NtNs2 log2 Nt) is introduced. When combined with spatial FFT algorithms, the proposed scheme further reduces the complexity of MOT-based integral equation solvers, for example to O(NtNs log(NtNs) log Nt) if the objects are uniformly meshed. Numerical simulations that demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the algorithm are presented.
