Description
Book SynopsisPresenting innovative, promising and unconventional techniques, Post-modern Electromagnetics outlines the essential tools for the creation of numerical methods. Hafner offers a comparative analysis of the fundamental computational electromagnetics methods and proposes future adaptive strategies. Complementary to Max-1: A Visual Electromagnetics Platform, this unique text challenges current thinking and provides guidance through the solution of practical problems. Features Include:
* Outline of Maxwell theory from simple material properties to complex media and wave equations
* Discussion of intelligent optimization strategies such as genetic algorithms designed to improve the performance of existing techniques
* Applications section demonstrating solutions in statics, scattering, gratings, antenna, antenna arrays, guided waves, resonators, coupling and waveguide discontinuities
* Explanation of the background to numerical methods showing how
