Computational Methods for Electromagnetics is an
indispensable resource for making efficient and accurate
formulations for electromagnetics applications and their numerical
treatment. Employing a unified coherent approach that is unmatched
in the field, the authors detail both integral and differential
equations using the method of moments and finite-element
procedures. In addition, readers will gain a thorough understanding
of numerical solution procedures.
Topics covered include:
* Two- and three-dimensional integral equation/method-of-moments
formulations
* Open-region finite-element formulations based on the scalar and
vector Helmholtz equations
* Finite difference time-domain methods
* Direct and iterative algorithms for the solutions of linear
systems
* Error analysis and the convergence behavior of numerical
results
* Radiation boundary conditions
* Acceleration methods for periodic Green's functions
* Vector finite elements
Detail is provided to enable the reader to implement concepts in
software and, in addition, a collection of related computer
programs are available via the Internet. Computational Methods
for Electromagnetics is designed for graduate-level classroom
use or self-study, and every chapter includes problems. It will
also be of particular interest to engineers working in the
aerospace, defense, telecommunications, wireless, electromagnetic
compatibility, and electronic packaging industries.
