"The numerical approximation of Maxwell's equations, computational electromagnetics (CEM), has emerged as a crucial enabling technology for radio-frequency, microwave, and wireless engineering. 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 taking courses on CEM, this would also be a valuable reference book for practicing engineers in the industry."--BOOK JACKET.
