Improving series convergency in analysis of conformal antennas

Different summation acceleration techniques exist that help in solving large scale problems where complex series appear. Most of these acceleration techniques have been implemented in algorithms for planar problems; however it is also possible to implement some of these techniques in the series summations appearing in the analysis of conformal antennas. Two adequate summation acceleration techniques are investigated and modified in order to achieve better convergence. The obtained results show excellent convergence properties and applying this method to conformal antenna problem shows that significant reductions in computational time and memory usage can be achieved.
