Application of adaptive basis functions for a diagonal moment-matrix solution of two-dimensional field problems?TE case

In this work, we present the application of specially constructed adaptive basis functions to generate a diagonal matrix in the method-of-moments solution procedure for the calculation of a scattered electromagnetic field from arbitrarily shaped two-dimensional cylinders excited by a transverse electric incident electromagnetic wave. Several numerical examples are also presented to validate the new method. (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
