In this letter, the field-programmable-gate-array accelerated implementation of matrix-assembly phase of the method of moments (MoM) is presented. The solution is based on a discretization of the frequency-domain mixed potential integral equation using the Rao-Wilton-Glisson basis functions and their extension to wire-to-surface junctions. To take advantage of the given hardware resources (i.e., Xilinx Alveo U200 accelerator card), nine independent processing paths/runtime efficient compute units are developed and synthesized. Numerical results provided for a quadrifilar spiral antenna mounted on a conductive handset box show that the proposed parallelization scheme performs 9.53× faster than a traditional (i.e., serial) central processing unit (CPU) MoM implementation, and about 1.67× faster than a parallel six-core CPU MoM implementation.
