Programming language: Fortran.
Computer: SUN ULTRA 60 (256MB RAM).
Operating system: Solaris 2.7.
RAM: 208K words
Word size: 64
Keywords: Quasi-static approximation, Green's tensor technique, Filtered Green's tensor, High permittivity particules, Two-layers medium, Electromagnetic.
Classification: 10.
Nature of problem: Computation of the Green's tensor G(r,r'), i.e. of the field radiated at the observation point r by three orthogonal source dipoles located at r'. This dyadic is computed both for free space and for a surface in the quasi-static limit. Further, the so-called filtered Green's tensor, which increases the application range of the coupled-dipole approximation to higher permittivity scatterers can also be computed [1].
Solution method: Analytical expressions from the free space Green's tensor are combined to obtain the electrostatic Green's tensor associated with a surface. For the filtered Green's tensor, a spectral approach, with integration in complex space is used [2,3].
Restrictions: None
Unusual features: None
Running time: 0.62 sec to compute the filtered Green's tensor associated with a surface, for 500 source-observation pairs.
