Essentials of Computational Electromagnetics / Wiley Finance Editions (PDF)

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.
