An Efficient Algorithm for EM Scattering by Electrically Large Dielectric Objects Using Mr-Qeb Iterative Scheme and Cg-FFT Method

Abstract
In this paper, an efficient algorithm is presented to analyze the electromagnetic scattering by electrically large-scale dielectric objects. The algorithm is based on the multi-region and quasiedge buffer (MR-QEB) iterative scheme and the conjugate gradient (CG) method combined with the fast Fourier transform (FFT). This algorithm is done by dividing the computational domain into small sub-regions and then solving the problem in each sub-region with buffer area using the CG-FFT method. Considering the spurious edge effects, local quasi-edge buffer regions are used to suppress these unwanted effects and ensure the stability. With the aid of the CG-FFT method, the proposed algorithm is very efficient, and can solve very largescale problems which cannot be solved using the conventional CG-FFT method in a personal computer. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed algorithm are verified by comparing numerical results with analytical Mie-series solutions for dielectric spheres.
