A new set of multiresolution curvilinear Rao-Wilton-Glisson (MR-CRWG) basis functions is proposed for the method of moments (MoM) solution of integral equations for three-dimensional (3-D) electromagnetic (EM) problems. The MR-CRWG basis functions are constructed as linear combinations of curvilinear Rao-Wilton-Glisson (CRWG) basis functions which are defined over curvilinear triangular patches, thus allowing direct application on the existing MoM codes that using CRWG basis. The multiresolution property of the MR-CRWG basis can lead to the fast convergence of iterative solvers merely by a simple diagonal preconditioning to the corresponding MoM matrices. Moreover, the convergence of iterative solvers can be further improved by introducing a perturbation from the principle value term of the magnetic field integral equation (MFIE) operator to construct diagonal preconditioners for efficient iterative solution of the electric field integral equation (EFIE). Another important property of the MR-CRWG basis is that the MoM matrices using the MR-CRWG basis can be highly sparsified without loss of accuracy. The MR-CRWG basis has been applied to the 3-D electromagnetic scattering problems and the numerical results indicate that the MR-CRWG basis performs much better than the CRWG basis.
