Abstract

In this communication, the adaptive cross approximation (ACA) algorithm is utilized to analyze the scattering from arbitrary metallic bodies of revolution (BoRs) that is formulated by the electric field integral equation approach. For a given mode, a multilevel partitioning is used to group the basis functions of the BoRs along the longitudinal dimension. The interactions of the adjacent groups are calculated directly by the method of moments (MoM), and the interactions of well-separated groups are compressed by the ACA algorithm. The memory requirement and CPU time consumption are reduced drastically.
