In this paper, a merged ultra-wideband characteristic basis function method (MUCBFM) is presented for high-precision analysis of wideband scattering problems. Unlike existing singular value decomposition (SVD) enhanced improved ultra-wideband characteristic basis function method (SVD-IUCBFM), the MUCBFM reduces the number of characteristic basis functions (CBFs) necessary to express a current distribution. This reduction is achieved by combining primary CBFs (PCBFs) with the secondary level CBFs (SCBFs) to form a single merged ultra-wideband characteristic basis function (MUCBF). As the MUCBF incorporates the effects of PCBFs and SCBFs, the accuracy does not change significantly compared to that obtained by the SVD-IUCBFM. Furthermore, the efficiencies of constructing the CBFs and filling the reduced matrix are improved. Numerical examples verify and demonstrate that the proposed method is credible both in terms of accuracy and efficiency.

A broadband radar cross section (RCS) calculation approach is proposed based on the characteristic basis function method (CBFM). In the proposed approach, the desired arbitrary frequency band is adaptively divided into multiple subband in consideration of the characteristic basis functions (CBFs) number, which can reduce the universal characteristic basis functions (UCBFs) numbers after singular value decomposition (SVD) procedure at lower subfrequency band. Then, the desired RCS data can be obtained by splicing the RCS data in each subfrequency band. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method achieve a high accuracy and efficiency over a wide frequency range.

Value Decomposition

The singular value decomposition (SVD) enhanced improved ultrawideband characteristic basis function method (IUCBFM) is proposed to efficiently analyze the wideband scattering problems. In the conventional IUCBFM, the SVD is only applied to reduce the linear dependency among the characteristic basis functions (CBFs) due to the overestimation of incident plane waves. However, the increase in the size of the targets under analysis will require a large number of incident plane waves and it will become very time-consuming to solve such numbers of the matrix equation. In this paper, the excitation matrix is compressed by using the SVD in order to reduce both the number of matrix equation solutions and the number of CBFs compared with the traditional IUCBFM. Furthermore, the dimensions of the reduced matrix and the reduced matrix filling time are significantly reduced. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method is accurate and efficient.

To obtain wideband radar cross-section (RCS) frequency response of multiple perfectly electric conducting (PEC) objects, the frequency sweeping by reusing the ultra-wide band characteristic basis functions (UCBFs) is applied. This method, based on the Characteristic Basis Function Method (CBFM), maintains all the benefit of CBFM, especially accelerating the solution of matrix equations generated by the method of moments (MoM) applied to the scatting problems in electromagnetics. Compared with conventional CBFM procedure, reusing the UCBFs without repeating the calculations of them at different frequency points leads to a significant reduction of computational time. Generating UCBFs for highest frequency, reusing UCBFs for lower frequencies and constructing reduced matrix for each frequency are the three keys of this method. Numerical results demonstrated the efficiency of this method.

Value Decomposition

Exponential basis functions preconvolved with the system waveform are used to convert measured transient decays to an ideal frequency‐domain response that can be modeled more easily than arbitrary waveform data. Singular‐value decomposition (SVD) of the basis functions are used to assess which specific EM waveform provides superior resolution of a range of exponential time constants that can be related to earth conductivities. The pulse shape, pulse length, transient sampling scheme, noise levels, and primary field removal used in practical EM systems all affect the resolution of time constants. Step response systems are more diagnostic of long time constants, and hence good conductors, than impulse response systems. The limited bandwidth of airborne EM systems compared with ground systems is improved when the response is sampled during the transmitter on time and gives better resolution of short time constants or fast decays.
