%0 Journal Article %T A Macrobasis Function Model for Characterizing Finite Large-Area Metamaterials %A Davood Ansari Oghol Beig %A Hossein Mosallaei %J PIER B %D 2012 %I EMW Publishing %R 10.2528/PIERB12072110 %X An acceleration technique for the MoM solution of large-area metamaterial arrays is proposed that relies on numerical extraction of the modal profile associated with the individual array elements followed by projection of the global system equations onto a judiciously constructed reduced solution space. To further enhance the performance of the underlying MoM computations an IE-FFT engine is developed that is adapted for the underlying JMCFIE formulation and higher order quadrilateral discretization. A number of large-area metamaterial arrays are solved and the computational statistics are presented to reflect the advantage of the the proposed methodology. %U http://www.jpier.org/pierb/pier.php?paper=12072110
