Synopsis

The numerical approximation of Maxwell's equations, Computational Electromagnetics (CEM), has emerged as a crucial enabling technology for radio-frequency, microwave and wireless engineering. The three most popular 'full-wave' methods - the Finite Difference Time Domain Method, the Method of Moments and the Finite Element Method - are introduced in this book by way of one or two-dimensional problems. Commercial or public domain codes implementing these methods are then applied to complex, real-world engineering problems, and a careful analysis of the reliability of the results obtained is performed, along with a discussion of the many pitfalls which can result in inaccurate and misleading solutions. The book will empower readers to become discerning users of CEM software, with an understanding of the underlying methods, and confidence in the results obtained. It also introduces readers to the art of code development. Aimed at senior undergraduate/graduate students taking CEM courses and practising engineers in the industry.

About this title

Review

Review of the hardback: 'This book is highly readable and an excellent introduction with lucid explanation to CEM. It represents an informative resource for all who may be involved in this area and is written by someone who knows the subject well ... I would recommend this book as essential reading for RF and microwave engineers, as well as for students ... a worthwhile publication for all interested in CEM.' IEE Communications Engineer

Review of the hardback: 'Computational Electromagnetics for RF and Microwave Engineering, prepared by David B. Davidson, is a good book. It is well structured, well written, and clear ...' IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine
