Synopsis

This classic 1968 edition of Field Computation by Moment Methods is the first book to explore the computation of electromagnetic fields by the method of moments--the most popular method for the numerical solution of electromagnetic field problems. It presents a unified approach to moment methods by employing the concepts of linear spaces and functional analysis. Written especially for those who have a minimal amount of experience in electromagnetic theory, theoretical and mathematical are illustrated by examples that prepare all readers with the skills they need to apply the method of moments to new, engineering-related problems.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Electrical Engineering/Electromagnetics Field Computation by Moment Methods A volume in the IEEE/OUP Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory Donald G. Dudley, Series Editor An IEEE reprinting of this classic 1968 edition, Field Computation by Moment Methods is the first book to explore the computation of electromagnetic fields by the method of moments—the most popular method to date for the numerical solution of electromagnetic field problems. It presents a unified approach to moment methods by employing the concepts of linear spaces and functional analysis. Written especially for those who have a minimal amount of experience in electromagnetic theory, theoretical and mathematical concepts are illustrated by examples that prepare readers with the skills they need to apply the method of moments to new, engineering-related problems. Key topics include:

• Electrostatic fields
• Two-dimensional electromagnetic fields
• Wire antennas and scatterers
• Multiport systems
• Transmission lines and waveguides
• Resonators
• Antenna systems

Also in the series... Electromagnetics History, Theory, and Applications by Robert S. Elliott, UCLA A useful reference for engineers and physicists, the IEEE reprinting of this classic text provides a deep, fundamental understanding of electromagnetics. Each chapter begins with a pertinent historical overview that shows how special relativity can be used to develop a complete electromagnetic theory from Coulomb’s Law, with the needed relativity theory developed in an early chapter. Key features include:

• The development and use of special relativity to establish a complete electromagnetic theory based on Coulomb’s Law as the sole experimental postulate
• Historical introductions to each chapter
• Extensive treatment of electrical properties of materials in the final three chapters
