A Stable Low Frequency Time Domain EFIE with Weighted Continuity Equation

Roth, Thomas E.; Chew, Weng C.

A new time domain electric field integral equation is proposed to solve low frequency problems. This new formulation uses the current and charge densities as unknowns, with a form of the continuity equation that is weighted by a Green's function as a second constraining equation. This equation can be derived from a scalar potential equivalence principle integral equation, which is in contrast to the traditional strong form of the continuity equation that has been used in an ad-hoc manner in the augmented EFIE. Numerical results demonstrate the improved stability of this approach, as well as the accuracy at low frequencies.
