Abstract
According to the characteristic mode basis function method (CMBFM) in analyzing electrically large problems, blocking and extending lead to the problem of slow convergence in the iterative solution of a reduced matrix equation, and the characteristic mode basis function method combined with principal component analysis (CMBFM-PCA) is proposed in this study. The characteristic modes (CMs), calculated from each extended block, are subjected to PCA to enhance the orthogonality between them and improve the reduced matrix's condition number to facilitate its quick convergence through an iterative solution. The corresponding numerical calculations demonstrate that significant efficiency and accuracy are achieved by the proposed method.
