Fast time domain integral equation based electromagnetic analysis: A maturing technosclogy

The analysis of transient scattering from perfectly conducting as well as potentially inhomogeneous penetrable bodies often is effected using marching on in time based time domain integral equation methods. This paper reviews the state of the art in the field, highlighting recent advances that address not only their stability and computational efficiency, but also their convergence and hybridization/interoperability with other solvers. The potential of this maturing technology is demonstrated via its application to several challenging electromagnetic compatibility and interference problems
