Abstract

In this paper, different causal sub-domain temporal basis functions are investigated to make the explicit marching-on-in time schemes converge and stable for solving two dimensional time domain EFIE. PEC cylinders with arbitrary cross section are illuminated by a TE-polarized Gaussian plane wave. Two different approximations are used for calculation of the singular elements of the impedance matrix analytically. In the Time Domain Method of Moment (TD-MoM) formulation of the Electric Field Integral Equation (EFIE) of the problem, the free-space two-dimensional Green's function and triangular spatial basis function are used. By employing Galerkin's method in spatial domain and point matching in time domain, all time convolution integrals and self-terms are evaluated analytically to increase the accuracy and stability of the proposed technique. The stability and efficiency of the new technique are confirmed by comparison with literature.
