The three most popular “full-wave” meth- ods – the Finite Difference Time Domain method, the Method of Moments, and the Finite Element Method – are introduced in this book by way of one- or two- dimensional problems. Commercial or public domain codes implementing these methods are then applied to complex, real-world engineering problems, and a care- ful analysis of the reliability of the results obtained is performed, along with a dis- cussion of the many pitfalls that can result in inaccurate and misleading solutions. The book will empower readers to become discerning users of CEM software, with an understanding of the underlying methods, and confidence in the results obtained. It also introduces readers to the art of code development. This book has a dedicated website making available a number of MATLAB scripts, implementing much of the theory discussed, and including additional material on the practical applications of CEM. Suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students tak- ing courses on CEM, this would also be a valuable reference book for practicing engineers in the industry.
