Today, engineering problems are very complex, requiring powerful computer simulations to power them. For engineers, observable-based parameterization as well as numerically computable formsâ??with rapid convergent properties if in a seriesâ??are essential. Complex Electromagnetic Problems and Numerical Simulation Approaches, along with its companion FTP site, will show you how to take on complex electromagnetic problems and solve them in an accurate and efficient manner. Organized into two distinct parts, this comprehensive resource first introduces you to the concepts, approaches, and numerical simulation techniques that will be used throughout the book and then, in Part II, offers step-by-step guidance as to their practical, real-world applications. Self-contained chapters will enable you to find specific solutions to numerous problems. Filled with in-depth insight and expert advice, Complex Electromagnetic Problems and Numerical Simulation Approaches: Describes ground wave propagation Examines antenna systems Deals with radar cross section (RCS) modeling Explores microstrip network design with FDTD and TLM techniques Discusses electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and bio-electromagnetics (BEM) modeling Presents radar simulation Whether you're a professional electromagnetic engineer requiring a consolidated overview of the subject or an academic/student who wishes to use powerful simulators as a learning tool, Complex Electromagnetic Problems and Numerical Simulation Approaches - with its focus on model development, model justification, and range of validity - is the right book for you.

This book contains the ceremonials and the proceedings pertaining to the Int- national Symposium CCN2005 on “Complex Computing-Networks: A Link between Brain-like and Wave-Oriented Electrodynamics Algorithms,” convened at Do ?u ? University of Istanbul, Turkey, on 13–14 June 2005, in connection with the bestowal of the honorary doctorate degrees on Professors Leopold B. Felsen and Leon O. Chua, for their extraordinary achievements in electromagnetics, and n- linear systems, respectively. The symposium was co-organized by Cem Göknar and Levent Sevgi, in consultation with Leopold B. Felsen and Leon O. Chua. Istanbul is a city with wonderful natural and historical surroundings, a city not only interconnecting Asia and Europe but also Eastern and Western cultures. Therefore, CCN2005 was a memorable event not only in the lifetime of Drs. Felsen, Chua, and their families, but also for all the other participants who were there to congratulate the recipients and participate in the symposium.

Until now, novices had to painstakingly dig through the literature to discover how to use Monte Carlo techniques for solving electromagnetic problems. Written by one of the foremost researchers in the field, Monte Carlo Methods for Electromagnetics provides a solid understanding of these methods and their applications in electromagnetic computation. Including much of his own work, the author brings together essential information from several different publications. Using a simple, clear writing style, the author begins with a historical background and review of electromagnetic theory. After addressing probability and statistics, he introduces the finite difference method as well as the fixed and floating random walk Monte Carlo methods. The text then applies the Exodus method to Laplace’s and Poisson’s equations and presents Monte Carlo techniques for handing Neumann problems. It also deals with whole field computation using the Markov chain, applies Monte Carlo methods to time-varying diffusion problems, and explores wave scattering due to random rough surfaces. The final chapter covers multidimensional integration. Although numerical techniques have become the standard tools for solving practical, complex electromagnetic problems, there is no book currently available that focuses exclusively on Monte Carlo techniques for electromagnetics. Alleviating this problem, this book describes Monte Carlo methods as they are used in the field of electromagnetics.

This exciting new resource presents a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of diffraction of two-dimensional canonical structures, including wedge, strip, and triangular cylinder with different boundary conditions. Maxwell equations are discussed, along with wave equation and scattered, diffracted and fringe fields. Geometric optics, as well as the geometric theory of diffraction are explained. With MATLAB scripts included for several well-known electromagnetic diffraction problems, this book discusses diffraction fundamentals of two-dimensional structures with different boundary conditions and analytical numerical methods that are used to show diffraction. The book introduces fundamental concepts of electromagnetic problems, identities, and definitions for diffraction modeling. Basic coordinate systems, boundary conditions, wave equation, and Green’s function problem are given. The scattered fields, diffracted fields, and fringe fields, radar cross section for diffraction modeling are presented. Behaviors of electromagnetic waves around the two-dimensional canonical wedge and canonical strip are also explored. Diffraction of trilateral cylinders and wedges with rounded edges is investigated as well as double tip diffraction using Finite Difference Time Domain and Method of Moments. A MATLAB based virtual tool, developed with graphical user interface (GUI), for the visualization of both fringe currents and fringe waves is included, using numerical FDTD and MoM algorithm and High-Frequency Asymptotics approaches.
