Analytical evaluation of the static MoM terms for volume and surface rectangular domains

Abstract

We present a simple analytical implementation of the static singular integrals arising in the volume/surface integral equation formulation for the analysis of mixed conducting and dielectric structures such as printed circuits with finite-size dielectric objects. The singularity of the Green's functions is extracted from the kernel of the integral equation as a static term. This term is then evaluated analytically for coincident rectangular cells in two and three dimensions. The new technique allows an accurate and efficient evaluation of method of moments (MoM) self-interactions compared to other methods previously used in the literature.
