✦ Synopsis

Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FD-TD) modeling is arguably the most popular and powerful means available to perform detailed electromagnetic engineering analyses. Edited by the pioneer and foremost authority on the subject, here is the first book to assemble in one resource the latest techniques and results of the leading theoreticians and practitioners of FD-TD computational electromagnetics modeling.
Designed to build on and complement the editor's popular 1995 book, Computational Electrodynamics: The Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method, this completely new work describes and shows how to apply the latest advances in FDTD to design better-performing antennas, microwave and millimeter wave devices and circuits, high-speed digital circuits, micron-scale optical devices, wireless personal communications devices, and inverse-scattering and imaging techniques. This new book is an excellent reference for practicing and future design engineers in electromagnetics, microwave theory and techniques, optics, and bioelectromagnetics.
