Closed-Form Green's Function Representations in Cylindrically Stratified Media for Method of Moments Applications

Abstract

Cataloged from PDF version of article.Closed-form Green's function (CFGF) representations for cylindrically stratified media, which can be used as the kernel of an electric field integral equation, are developed. The developed CFGF representations can safely be used in a method of moments solution procedure, as they are valid for almost all possible source and field points that lie on the same radial distance from the axis of the cylinder (such as the air-dielectric and dielectric-dielectric interfaces) including the axial line (ρ = ρ′ and φ = φ′), which has not been available before. In the course of obtaining these expressions, the conventional spectral domain Green's function representations are rewritten in a different form so that i) we can attack the axial line problem and ii) the method can handle electrically large cylinders. Available acceleration techniques that exist in the literature are implemented to perform the summation over the cylindrical eigenmodes efficiently. Lastly, the resulting expressions are transformed to the spatial domain using the discrete complex image method with the help of the generalized pencil of function method, where a modified two-level approach is used. Numerical results are presented in the form of mutual coupling between two current modes to assess the accuracy of the final spatial domain CFGF representations. © 2009 IEE

Full-Wave Modeling and Inversion of UWB Radar Data for Wave Propagation in Cylindrical Objects

“…Bhattacharya, Ghosh and Sarabandi [40] proposed an efficient closed-form Green's function which can remove the spatial domain singularity in the spectral domain Green's function. The ability of the closed-form Green's function to address the convergence problem and remove the spatial singularity [41,42] can finally lead to a less singular and higher efficient forward modeling.…”

“…The MoM is the most commonly used one. The closed form Green's function can be obtained by using available envelope extraction processing [3], but it has computation strange problem. By using dividing territory method [4], air zone Green's function can be obtained optimally.…”
