New Achievements in MoM Applications to Computational Electromagnetics

This paper is aimed to review some recent achievements in the Method of Moments (MoM) applications to computational electromagnetics related to new formulations for overcoming the low frequency (fine mesh) instability problems, modeling of printed and impedance structures, multiport networks and waveguide ports, as well as their hybridizations with mixed conducting and dielectric objects. The validation of the developed approaches and their application to practical EM/ EMI/ EMC problems will be demonstrated.
