Description
Book SynopsisBridges the gap between FDTD theory and the implementation of practical simulation techniques This is the first publication that guides readers step by step through the implementation of electromagnetic simulation techniques based on FDTD methods. These simulation techniques serve as an essential bridge between FDTD methods and their applications.
