Advanced Integral Equation and Hybrid Methods for the Efficient Analysis of General Waveguide and Antenna Structures

Three new numerical methods for the calculation of passive waveguide and antenna structures are presented in this work. They are designed to be used within a comprehensive hybrid CAD tool for the efficient analysis of those building blocks for which the fast mode-matching/2-D finite element technique cannot be applied. The advanced algorithms introduced here are doubly higher order, that is higher order basis functions are considered for current/field modeling whereas geometry discretization is performed with triangular/tetrahedral elements of higher polynomial degree
