Popis: The problem of electromagnetic scattering by a homogeneous dielectric object is usually formulated as a pair of coupled integral equations involving two unknown currents on the surface S of the object. In this paper, however, the problem is formulated as a single integral equation involving one unknown current on S. Unique solution at resonance is obtained by using a combined field integral equation. The single integral equation is solved by the method of moments using a Galerkin test procedure. Numerical results for a dielectric sphere are in good agreement with the exact results. Furthermore, the single integral equation method is shown to have superior convergence speed of iterative solution compared with the coupled integral equations method.
