摘要: 针对目标宽带电磁散射特性分析中待求频点阻抗矩阵重复计算、矩阵方程重复求解的问题,该文提出一种基于压缩感知框架的自适应交叉近似(ACA)驱动测量矩阵插值(MMI)的高效计算方法。该方法首先在最高频率点通过ACA提取主导行索引并全频段复用,实现测量矩阵确定性构建;其次采用MMI技术,通过少量采样频点的低维测量矩阵插值避免完整阻抗矩阵冗余计算;最后对插值后矩阵的远场组再次进行ACA分解,进一步加速矩阵向量积运算,实现传感矩阵的快速构建,将电流系数求解转换成压缩感知模型下超定方程的求解,实现待求频点电流快速求解。研究结果表明,该方法在保证计算精度的前提下,有效提高了测量矩阵的构造效率,显著降低插值的矩阵维数,大幅提升了目标宽带散射分析的效率。Abstract:
Objective Broadband electromagnetic scattering analysis is widely used in radar target recognition, stealth technology, and microwave imaging. Although the Method of Moments (MoM) provides high computational accuracy, it incurs substantial computational and memory costs for electrically large or geometrically complex targets because full impedance matrices must be constructed and solved. Existing acceleration techniques, including the MultiLevel Fast Multipole Method (MLFMM) and Adaptive Cross Approximation (ACA), reduce the computational burden but still require repeated matrix construction and equation solving at every frequency during wideband analysis. Methods such as Asymptotic Waveform Evaluation (AWE), Model-Based Parameter Estimation (MBPE), and impedance matrix interpolation have been proposed to reduce this redundancy. However, AWE is prone to error accumulation over wide frequency bands, MBPE requires expensive initial sampling, and conventional impedance matrix interpolation still requires the computation of full high-dimensional impedance matrices at the sampling frequencies. More recently, Compressive Sensing Method of Moments (CS-MoM) and its extension, CS-HBFM, have improved wideband analysis by employing Hyper-Basis Functions (HBFs). By constructing Characteristic Mode Basis Functions (CMBFs) only once at the highest frequency, CS-HBFM eliminates repeated basis-function generation. Nevertheless, existing CS-HBFM methods rely on nondeterministic random or uniform sampling, require expensive large-scale matrix-vector products, and repeatedly reconstruct and solve impedance equations throughout the frequency sweep. Methods A CS-ACA-MMI framework is proposed for broadband electromagnetic scattering analysis by combining dual ACA decomposition with Measurement Matrix Interpolation (MMI). First, CMBFs are constructed at the highest frequency, and dominant HBFs are selected according to the Modal Significance (MS) criterion. ACA is then applied to the full impedance matrix to extract deterministic row indices corresponding to the dominant Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) basis functions. These indices are reused throughout the frequency band, eliminating nondeterministic sampling and repeated index extraction. Second, four sampling frequencies are selected using Chebyshev-Lobatto nodes. Low-dimensional measurement matrices are constructed directly from the extracted row indices, avoiding the generation of full high-dimensional impedance matrices. The measurement impedance elements at the sampling frequencies are corrected according to the geometric distance, interpolated to the target frequency, and then restored to the actual measurement impedance elements, thereby eliminating repeated construction of measurement matrices during frequency sweeping. Third, ACA is applied to the far-field component of the interpolated measurement matrix, converting large-scale matrix-vector products into low-dimensional matrix multiplications. The near-field sensing matrix is obtained directly by multiplying the measurement matrix by the basis functions, enabling rapid construction of the complete sensing matrix. Finally, the dense linear system is transformed into an overdetermined system under the compressive sensing framework, and the least-squares method is used to reconstruct the current coefficients, from which the broadband Radar Cross Section (RCS) is calculated. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) is used to evaluate numerical accuracy. Three representative targets, namely a cylinder, a slotted cone, and an almond, are analyzed. Broadband RCS, numerical accuracy, total computation time, and single-frequency measurement-matrix memory consumption are compared with those obtained using MoM and CS-HBFM to validate the proposed framework. Results and Discussions Three numerical examples, including a perfect electric conductor cylinder, a slotted cone, and an almond, are used to validate the proposed CS-ACA-MMI framework. The ACA-extracted row indices are concentrated near geometric boundaries and structural junctions, demonstrating the physical validity of the deterministic sampling strategy ( Fig. 2 ). Parametric studies show that appropriate ACA thresholds and four sampling frequencies provide the best balance between computational efficiency and numerical accuracy (Figs. 3 ~5 ). The broadband RCS predicted by the proposed framework agrees closely with the MoM results over the entire frequency band (Figs. 6 ~8 ), and the RMSE remains low, demonstrating high numerical accuracy. Compared with CS-HBFM, the proposed framework reduces the total computation time by 93.4% for the cylinder, 96.7% for the slotted cone, and 81.0% for the almond (Table 2 ). These improvements result from deterministic index reuse, MMI, and dual ACA acceleration, which substantially reduce the computational cost of broadband frequency-sweeping analysis.Conclusions A CS-ACA-MMI framework is proposed by integrating ACA with MMI for efficient broadband electromagnetic scattering analysis. The proposed framework eliminates repeated matrix construction and equation solving during frequency sweeping while overcoming the nondeterministic sampling strategy and the high computational and memory costs of conventional CS-HBFM. Dominant row indices extracted by ACA at the highest frequency provide a deterministic measurement-matrix construction strategy and a stable physical basis for broadband interpolation. By shifting the interpolation target from full impedance matrices to low-dimensional measurement matrices, the computational complexity and redundant matrix construction are substantially reduced. A second ACA decomposition further accelerates sensing-matrix construction by converting large-scale matrix-vector products into low-dimensional matrix multiplications. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves numerical accuracy comparable to that of MoM while reducing total computation time by more than 81% and decreasing single-frequency measurement-matrix memory consumption by up to 65%. Because only the measurement matrices at four sampling frequencies need to be stored, the overall memory requirement is further reduced. -
