Computational ics for RF and Microwave Engineering
This hands-on introduction putational ics (CEM) links theoretical
coverage of the three key methods – the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method,
the method of moments (MoM) and the finite element method (FEM) – to open source
MATLAB codes (freely available online) in 1D, 2D, and 3D, together with many practical
hints and tips gleaned from the author’s 25 years of experience in the field. There is also
extensive coverage of mercial CEM software, including many application
examples. Updated and extensively revised, this second edition includes a new chapter
on 1D FEM analysis, and extended 3D treatments of the FDTD, MoM, and FEM, with
entirely new 3D MATLAB codes. Coverage of higher-order finite elements in 1D, 2D,
and 3D is also provided, with supporting code, in addition to a detailed 1D example of
the FDTD method from an FEM perspective. With running examples throughout the
book and end-of-chapter problems to aid understanding, this is ideal for professional
engineers and senior undergraduate/graduate students who need to master CEM and
mon pitfalls in writing code and using existing software.
David B. Davidson holds the Square Kilometer Array Research Chair in the Department
of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Stellenbosch University, South Africa, from
where he received his . in 1991. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE, edits the
EM Programmers Notebook in the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine and is
the recipient of a number of research awards, including the South African National
Research Foundation President’s Award and the Rector’s Award for Excellent Research
from Stellenbosch University. His main research interest is CEM; he has published
extensively on this topic and has contributed mercial software.
