Abstract :
The efficiency of a full-wave, integral-equation-based simulator is improved by using analytical methods to represent the reaction elements in terms of rapidly computable special functions instead of relying on time consuming numerical integration algorithms. The simulator developed using this strategy is validated by comparing with commercial simulator tools.
