Surface integral equation (SIE) method with the kernel of layered medium Green's
function (LMGF) is investigated in details from several fundamental aspects. A
novel implementation of discrete complex image method (DCIM) is developed to
accelerate the evaluation of Sommerfeld integrals and especially improve the far
field accuracy of the conventional one. To achieve a broadband simulation of thin
layered structure such as microstrip antennas, the mixed-form thin-stratified
medium fast-multipole algorithm (MF-TSM-FMA) is developed by applying
contour deformation and combining the multipole expansion and plane wave
expansion into a single multilevel tree. The low frequency breakdown of the
integral operator is further studied and remedied by using the loop-tree
decomposition and the augmented electric field integral equation (A-EFIE), both
in the context of layered medium integration kernel. All these methods are based
on the EFIE for the perfect electric conductor (PEC) and hence can be applied in
antenna and circuit applications. To model general dielectric or magnetic objects,
the layered medium Green's function based on pilot vector potential approach is
generalized for both electric and magnetic current sources. The matrix
representation is further derived and the corresponding general SIE is setup.
Finally, this SIE is accelerated with the DCIM and applied in quantum optics,
such as the calculation of spontaneous emission enhancement of a quantum
emitter embedded in a layered structure and in the presence of nano scatterers. / published_or_final_version / Electrical and Electronic Engineering / Doctoral / Doctor of Philosophy
