A new efficient hybrid SBR/MoM technique for scattering analysis of complex large structures

A new efficient hybrid technique is presented, which combines the method of moments (MoM) and the shooting and bouncing ray (SBR) for analyzing scattering of complex large structures. By applying the SBR method for the whole structures, a corrected incident field including not only the direct incident field but also the multi-bounce field from the SBR region contributes to the integral equation in the MoM region. For the SBR region, it also considers the interaction from MoM region and then a physical optics (PO) type integration is performed to calculate the scattered field. For complex electrically large electromagnetic problems, the proposed technique is more efficient and simpler to implement in a general-purpose computer code. Numerical results are presented to show the efficiency and accuracy of the method.
