Abstract :
This paper presents a novel technique referred to herein as MNM for efficient iterative solution of MoM matrices over a broad frequency range. It utilizes a combination of techniques to reduce the number of iterations required to generate the solution including a special choice of the initial guess, and efficient preconditioning. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the application of the MNM to representative microwave circuit analysis problems.
