Abstract
ABSTRACT In this work, an efficient numerical method is proposed for three-dimensional (3D) electromagnetic scattering from multiple coated targets buried under a two-dimensional dielectric rough surface. In the proposed method, the interior region of each coated target is regarded as an independent subregion. The field within each coated target is modeled by 3D vector finite element method (FEM). The multiple scattering interactions between the buried targets and between targets and rough surface are considered by the electric field integral equation and the Poggio–Miller–Chang–Harrington–Wu integral equations, respectively. The fields inside and outside the targets are coupled together via boundary conditions on the boundary of each target. To improve the calculation efficiency and reduce the memory requirement, the fast multipole technique is used in our method. The presented method is numerically validated by comparing it with method of moments and conventional FEM-boundary integral method (BIM). The results indicate that, compared with traditional FEM-BIM, our method has significant advantages in computational efficiency and memory requirements.
