Abstract :
This paper describes higher order finite elements for use in method of moments (MoM) computations. It outlines the extension of RWG basis functions on flat-faceted triangular elements to different element shapes, higher order geometry and higher order function support. Mixed order geometry and mixed order function support can be assembled together in a single calculation to allow efficient local refinement.
