, COMPUTATIONAL ELECTROMAGNETICS FOR RF
AND MICROWAVE ENGINEERING
The numerical approximation of Maxwell’s equations, computational electromag-
netics (CEM), has emerged as a crucial enabling technology for radio-frequency,
microwave, and wireless engineering. 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.
D A V I D D A V I D S O N received his Ph.D. in 1991 from the University of
Stellenbosch in South Africa where he is currently a professor in the Department
of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. He has also been a visiting scholar at the
University of Arizona; a visiting fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge; and was
a guest professor at the International Research Centre for Telecommunications-
Transmission and Radar at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands.
He has authored or co-authored 38 papers in refereed journals and co-edits the
“EM Programmer’s Notebook” column in the IEEE Antennas and Propagation
Magazine. David is a member of the IEEE, ACES, and SAIEE, and served as
chairman of the south African IEEE AP/MTT Chapter from 1996 to 1998. He also
served as the national convener of the NRF’s Engineering Assessment Committee
in 2002 and is the Principal Grantholder of the HF Electromagnetic and Electronic
Engineering research consortium, funded by the NRF.
