Abstract
Transient electromagnetic (EM) scattering by conducting objects is formulated by
time-domain magnetic field integral equation (TDMFIE). Traditionally, the TDMFIE is solved
by combining the method of moments (MoM) in spatial domain and a march-on in time (MOT)
scheme in temporal domain. We propose a different scheme in which the Nyström method is
used in spatial domain while the MoM with Laguerre function as basis and testing functions is
employed in temporal domain. The Nyström method is simple in implementation and does not
require a basis or testing function and conforming meshes. The time-domain MoM can naturally
enforce the causality and fully eliminate the numerical instability. A numerical example for EM
scattering by a conducting cylinder is presented to demonstrate the approach and its merits can
be observed.
