Electric Field Integral Equation Formulation

The integro-differential equation for the current distribution based on the electric field operator is called the electric field integral equation (EFIE). In this section, we are interested in the electric field operator equation. The method of moments is applied to the electric field boundary value equation to obtain a set of linear equations for the induced electric surface current on the surface of a scatterer. We shall give a derivation of the operator equation in Section , and we will concentrate on evaluating the so-called impedance matrix numerically in section .
