Abstract

In this letter, we consider the solution of large electromagnetics problems of composite structures with coexisting open and closed conductors. By modifying the construction of the combined-field integral equation (CFIE), we demonstrate a significant improvement in the iterative solution of these problems compared to the conventional electric-field formulation.
