Abstract

A Comparative study is performed in this paper on the accuracy of global spectrum, local bicubic and local Lagrangian polynomial inter-/anterpolation schemes when the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is used to compute EM scattering by objects with low RCS. For a specially designed low RCS object, we show that the accuracy of conventional local interpolation schemes using 4 × 4 samples, the bicubic, the lowerorder Lagrangian polynomial, etc., cannot be promised. To remedy this, a higher-order local Lagrangian polynomial interpolation is used. Numerical results demonstrate that the introduced higher-order local interpolation can achieve accuracy comparable to global spectrum interpolation, while maintaining efficiency and sparsity characteristics of local schemes.
