Abstract :
In this paper, we present the discretization in Method of Moments of the Electric-Magnetic Field Equation with the divergence-Taylor-Orthogonal basis functions, a facet-oriented set of basis functions. We show for a sharp-edged object that the computed RCS with this discretization offers better accuracy than the Loop-Star discretization.
