• We present a novel implementation of the magnetic field integral equation (MFIE) with the use of the combined Rao–Wilton–Glisson (RWG) basis and testing functions. Implementation details are outlined in the context of the method of moments. For a wide variety of small sharp-edged objects, we show that accuracy of the MFIE can be greatly improved with a combination parameter of about 0.2 for the combined RWG functions. This is achieved with relatively coarse discretization for the scatterers and with only minor modifications in the existing codes based on the RWG and n×RWG functions.
