Application of combined field Integral equation for electromagnetic scattering by dielectric and composite objects

Combined field integral equation (CFIE) is applied for computing electromagnetic scattering by arbitrarily shaped three dimensional dielectric and composite objects. The objectives of this paper are as follows. First, to present a CFIE formulation which can be used in the analysis of piecewise dielectric and composite metallic and dielectric objects with junctions. Second, to show that properly choosing the coupling coefficients of the equations the conditioning of the discretized matrix equation can be essentially improved and rapidly converging iterative solutions can be obtained even without preconditioning.
