Abstract
The performance of several inexpensive local error estimation techniques is evaluated in connection with the Rao-Wilton-Glisson method of moments numerical solutions of the electric field integral equation. Results for 18 perfectly conducting test targets are used to evaluate the performance of the estimators. Two of the estimators produce error maps that consistently exhibit high correlations with reference solutions. These estimators are also suitable for “goal-oriented” estimation of secondary quantities, such as identifying cells that contribute the most error to the radar cross section of the target.
