1. Motivation
>> Metallic quasioptical reflectors are durable and provide very high directivity and small losses
Most common simulation tools and their shortages:
>> GO and PO: fail to characterize resonances, which may appear if near-field environment is complicated
>> MoM: hits "numerical wall" if applied to a single
reflector larger than 20 λ λ λ λ
>> FDTD: not applicable to quasioptical-scale problems because of enormous resources needed
2. Aim of Research | Outline
1.Development of efficient discrete modelbased on the boundary IEs
fast and convergent numerical algorithm with controlled accuracy
2. Computer simulation of 2-D antennas:
Single-reflector: parabolic, elliptic, offset
Dual-reflector: Cassegrain, parabola-cone
3. Frequency analysis of EM field effects
3. 2-D Problem Geometry

E-problem reduces to a logarithmic-SIE of the 1st kind, andH-problem reduces to a hyper-SIE of the 1st kind for the unknown current, j(s), induced on the reflector:

Numerical solution of a Fredholm 2-nd kind IE
can be obtained by any not pathologic
discretization scheme (collocation, Galerkin)
leading to the Fredholm 2-nd kind matrices.
Hence, solutions are stable and convergent
kernel decomposition =static
singular part + regular part
H-pol (E-pol) IE for a PEC strip can be integrated (differentiated)
that leads to IE with Cauchy singularity plus auxiliary relation
This is a Fredholm IE of the 2-nd kind,

Advantages of the CPS field:
- Exact solution of the Helmholtz
equation at any space domain
- Variable beam width controlled by
the parameter kb
Dots and curvy line denote
the branch points and the
