Improved-Accuracy Source Reconstructionon Arbitrary 3-D Surfaces

This paper presents a novel formulation of the source reconstruction problem on arbitrary three-dimensional (3-D) surfaces based on integral equations. Rigorous boundary integral field identities are employed to enforce that the two unknown currents are Maxwellian on the reconstruction surface; this leads to a dual integral-equation formulation, in contrast to the single-equation formulation found in literature. Numerical tests against reference currents allow a quantitative assessment of the improvements in accuracy afforded by the novel formulation, with important benefits in diagnostic application
