Description:
<jats:p>In this paper, the full wave simulation of a 2‐D Luneburg lens is reported, using the Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm (MLFMA). To stabilize the MLFMA at low frequencies, it is augmented with a normalized plane‐wave method, yielding a fully broadband solver. To test the proposed method, the Luneburg lens is partitioned into concentric shells with a constant permittivity, resulting in a complex simulation target that consists of multiple embedded dielectric objects. The numerical results are in good agreement with the analytical solutions for both the continuous and discretized lens.</jats:p>
