An integral equation approach with a new solution procedure using moment method (MoM) is applied for the computation of coupled currents on the surface of a printed dipole antenna and inside its high-permittivity three-dimensional dielectric substrate. The main purpose of this study is to validate the accuracy and reliability of the previously proposed MoM procedure by authors for the solution of a coupled volume-surface integral equations system. In continuation of the recent works of authors, a mixed-domain MoM expansion using Legendre polynomial basis function and cubic geometric modeling are adopted to solve the tensor-volume integral equation. In mixed-domain MoM, a combination of entire-domain and sub-domain basis functions, including three-dimensional Legnedre polynomial basis functions with different degrees is utilized for field expansion inside dielectric substrate. In addition, the conventional Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) basis function is employed for electric current expansion over the printed structure. The accuracy of the proposed approach is verified through a comparison with the MoM solutions based on the spectral domain Green's function for infinitely large substrate and the results of FDTD method.

This paper includes different approaches for analysis of a thin-wire antenna in the presence of de-ionized water box at different temperatures as a high-permittivity three-dimensional dielectric body. In continuation with the previous work of authors, first, the coupled tensor-volume/line integral equations is solved by using Galerkin-based moment method (MoM) consisting of a combination of entire-domain and sub-domain basis functions including three-dimensional polynomials with different degrees. Then, the accuracy of such MoM, specifically for a high-permittivity dielectric scatterer, is substantiated by comparing its numerical results with that of FDTD method and some experimental data.
A new approach for solution of the Tensor-Volume Integral Equation (TVIE) using Galerkin-based moment method (MoM) for three-dimensional dielectric bodies is proposed. Two problems of plane wave scattering by a dielectric sphere and a thin-wire antenna in close proximity to a dielectric body are investigated. In both cases, cubic modeling is applied and a combination of entire-domain and sub-domain basis functions, including three-dimensional polynomial functions with different degrees is utilized for field expansion inside dielectric bodies. Power polynomial is adopted for this purpose and its property is discussed over the proposed mixed-domain MoM formulation. Numerical examples show that based on the proposed method, a relative fast algorithm and suitable accuracy are achieved compared with conventional MoM. The accuracy of the proposed method is verified by comparing it with the Mie theory, conventional MoM and the FDTD method.
