Synopsis

This book presents the topic in electromagnetics known as Transmission-Line Modeling or Matrix method-TLM. While it is written for engineering students at graduate and advanced undergraduate levels, it is also highly suitable for specialists in computational electromagnetics working in industry, who wish to become familiar with the topic. The main method of implementation of TLM is via the time-domain differential equations, however, this can also be via the frequency-domain differential equations. The emphasis in this book is on the time-domain TLM. Physical concepts are emphasized here before embarking onto mathematical development in order to provide simple, straightforward suggestions for the development of models that can then be readily programmed for further computations. Sections with strong mathematical flavors have been included where there are clear methodological advantages forming the basis for developing practical modeling tools. The book can be read at different depths depending on the background of the reader, and can be consulted as and when the need arises.

About the Author

Christos Christopoulos was born in Patras, Greece, on September 17, 1946. He received the Diploma in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens in 1969 and the M.Sc. and D.Phil. degrees from the University of Sussex in 1979 and 1974, respectively. In 1974, he joined the Arc Research Project of the University of Liverpool and spent 2 years working on vacuum arcs and breakdown while on attachments at the UKAEA Culham Laboratory. In 1976 he joined the University of Durham as a Senior Demonstrator in Electrical Engineering Science. In October 1978 he joined the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Nottingham, where he is now Professor of Electrical Engineering and Director of the George Green Institute for Electromagnetics Research (GGIEMR). His research interests are in computational electromagnetics, electromagnetic compatibility, signal integrity, protection and simulation of power networks, and electrical discharges and plasmas. He is the author of over 300 research publications and five books. He has received the Electronics Letters and the Snell Premiums from the IEE and best paper awards of several conferences. He is a member of the IEE, IoP and an IEEE Fellow. Formerly, he was Executive Team Chairman of the IEE Professional Network in EMC, Member of the CIGRE Working Group 36.04 on EMC, and Associate Editor of the IEEE EMC Transactions. He is ViceChairman of URSI Commission E “Noise and Interference” and Associate Editor of the URSI Radio Bulletin.
