APPLICATION OF QUASI MONTE CARLO INTEGRATION TECHNIQUE IN EM SCATTERING FROM FINITE CYLINDERS

In this work, a Quasi Monte Carlo (QMC) Integration Technique using Halton Sequence is proposed for the Electric Field Integral Equation (EFIE) in the Method of Moments (MoM) solution for scattering problems. It is found that the Halton Sequence used in QMC integration scheme is capable of handling the singularity issue in the EFIE automatically and at the same time provides solution to the scattering problems very easily. Finally the proposed technique is applied to solve the scattering problem from a finite cylinder employing the entire domain basis function expansions. The results obtained show a good agreement between the proposed and conventional technique.
