The magnetic field integral equations(MFIE)solved by moment methods(MOM)show low accuracy. A higher order moment method for solving the MFIE is introduced. Duffy transformation is chosen to cancel the singularities in the self-term impedances. As to the near singularities in the impedances of two neighboring patches
a hyperbolic function is adopted to cancel the R
-2
near singularities in the inner surface integrals
and then another Duffy transformation is employed to cancel the logarithmic singularities in the outer surface integrals
thus a high accurate moment method is achieved. For two closed conducting models
the bistatic radar cross section(RCS)simulation by the proposed method is with error less than 0.5 dB. This method for MFIE can replace the commonly used one for
combined field integral equations(CFIE)
and may lay a foundation to construct new methods with higher convergence rate.
