Electromagnetic Pulse Simulations Using Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method

The distinguished author offers readers a fresh new approach for analyzing electromagnetic modes for pulsed electromagnetic systems designed to improve the reader's understanding of the electromagnetic modes responsible for radiating far-fields. The book also provides a wide variety of computer programs, data analysis techniques, and visualization tools with state-of-the-art packages in MATLAB® and Octave.
Following an introduction and clarification of basic electromagnetics and the frequency and time domain approach, the book delivers explanations of different numerical methods frequently used in computational electromagnetics and the necessity for the time domain treatment. In addition to a discussion of the Finite-difference Time-domain (FDTD) approach, readers will also enjoy:

• A thorough introduction to electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) and basic electromagnetics, including common applications of electromagnetics and EMP coupling and its effects
  
• An exploration of time and frequency domain analysis in electromagnetics, including Maxwell's equations and their practical implications
  
• A discussion of electromagnetic waves and propagation, including waves in free space, dielectric mediums, complex mediums, and guiding structures
  
• A treatment of computational electromagnetics, including an explanation of why we need modeling and simulations
  

Perfect for undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in physics and electrical and electronic engineering,Electromagnetic Pulse Simulations Using Finite-Difference Time-Domain Methodwill also earn a place in the libraries of scientists and engineers working in electromagnetic research, RF and microwave design, and electromagnetic interference.
