An iterative approach using the finite difference frequency domain method is presented in this paper in order to solve the problem of scattering from large three-dimensional electromagnetic scatterers. The idea of iterative multiregion technique is introduced to divide one computational domain into smaller subregions and solve each subregion separately. Then the subregion solutions are combined iteratively to obtain a solution for the complete domain. As a result, a considerable reduction in the computation time and memory has been achieved.
