A hybrid method for electromagnetic scattering from multiple conducting objects

In this paper, we propose a new hybrid method for the electromagnetic scattering problem from a medium with multiple conducting arbitrary objects. The scene is divided into sub-domains, and each sub-domain is solved independently using any appropriate full-wave, asymptotic, or analytical method. Once each sub-domain is analyzed, an iterative approach interfaces the sub-domain solutions to obtain the final solution for the entire domain. This technique allows the solution of large problem sizes with reduced memory requirements and computational complexity. The accuracy of the results for the proposed hybrid method is verified with a full-wave solution using the commercial software package FEKO.
