Direct Boundary Integral Equation Method for Electromagnetic Scattering at Partly Coaeted Dielectric Objects

by B. Cranganu-Cretu and R. Hiptmair

(Report number 2004-06)

Abstract
We present a new variational direct boundary integral equation approach for solving the scattering and transmission problem for dielectric objects partially coated with a PEC layer. The main idea is to use to use the electromagnetic Calderon projector along with transmission conditions for the electromagnetic fields. This leads to a symmetric variational formulation which lends itself to Galerkin discretization by means of divergence-conforming discrete surface currents. A wide array of numerical experiments confirms the efficacy of the new method.
