Abstract

The simulation of low-observable targets requires high accuracy, both in the geometrical discretization as well as in the numerical solution of the electromagnetic problem. In this letter, we employ the well-known NASA almond to illustrate the accuracy of the leapfrog discontinuous Galerkin method, combined with a local time-stepping algorithm, comparing it to the method of moments (MoM) and the (2, 2) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) methods.
