The solution of the single integral equation for electromagnetic scattering by three-dimensional homogeneous dielectric objects is presented. This procedure is more convenient to use when higher-order vector basis functions are employed. The problem is formulated as a single integral equation involving one unknown current on the objects. The method of moments with a Galerkin test procedure is used. The problem of resonance is discussed. Numerical results for a dielectric sphere are given. The convergence speed is higher than the speed of the coupled integral equations method.
