Description

This practical new resource provides you with a much wider choice of analytical solutions to the everyday problems you encounter in electromagnetic modeling. The book enables you to use cutting-edge method-of-moments procedures, with new theories and techniques that help you optimize computer performance in numerical analysis of composite metallic and dielectric structures in the complex frequency domain. For the first time, comparisons and unique combinations of techniques bring the elements of flexibility, ease of implementation, accuracy, and efficiency into clear view. Numerous examples are given - from simple to complex - including scatterers, antennas and microwave circuits. You get an in-depth presentation of intricate models, including TV UHF panels, horn, parabolic, microstrip patch antennas, and many others. More than 800 equations and 150 illustrations support key topics.
