Book description
Essentials of Computational Electromagnetics
provides an in-depth introduction of the three main full-wave numerical
methods in computational electromagnetics (CEM); namely, the method of
moment (MoM), the finite element method (FEM), and the finite-difference
time-domain (FDTD) method. Numerous monographs can be found addressing
one of the above three methods. However, few give a broad general
overview of essentials embodied in these methods, or were published too
early to include recent advances. Furthermore, many existing monographs
only present the final numerical results without specifying practical
issues, such as how to convert discretized formulations into computer
programs, and the numerical characteristics of the computer programs. In
this book, the authors elaborate the above three methods in CEM using
practical case studies, explaining their own research experiences along
with a review of current literature. A full analysis is provided for
typical cases, including characteristics of numerical methods, helping
beginners to develop a quick and deep understanding of the essentials of
CEM.
- Outlines practical issues, such as how to convert discretized
formulations into computer programs
- Gives typical computer programs and their numerical
characteristics along with line by line explanations of programs
- Uses practical examples from the authors' own work as well as in
the current literature
- Includes exercise problems to give readers a better understanding
of the material
- Introduces the available commercial software and their limitations
This book is intended for graduate-level students in antennas and
propagation, microwaves, microelectronics, and electromagnetics. This
text can also be used by researchers in electrical and electronic
engineering, and software developers interested in writing their own
code or understanding the detailed workings of code.
