Synopsis
Numerical simulation is essential to electrical engineers working in antenna design, wireless communications, optical systems, and a host of other areas. This new applications-focused book provides engineers with state-of-the-art methods for predicting simulation accuracy, worked-out results for dozens of real-world problems, the latest accuracy-improving techniques, and detailed guidance for all parameters required to optimize numerical simulations. Bridging the gap between abstract academic treatments and practical engineering needs, this timely work introduces various surface integral equation formulations, approaches to discretizing the integral equations, and measures of solution accuracy. All told, this definitive resource is indispensable for all engineers and software developers working with computational simulation tools in electromagnetics and wave propagation.
About the Author
Karl F. Warnick received the B.S. degree (magna cum laude) with University Honors and the Ph.D. degree from Brigham Young University (BYU), Provo, UT, in 1994 and 1997, respectively. Since 2000, he has been a faculty member in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at BYU, where he is currently an Associate Professor. He was a recipient of the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, Outstanding Faculty Member award for Electrical and Computer Engineering (2005), the BYU Young Scholar Award (2007), and an honorary Guest Professorship at Nanjing University of Science and Technology. In 2005 and 2007, he was a Visiting Professor at the Technische Universitat Munchen, Germany. Dr. Warnick has published many scientific articles and conference papers on electromagnetic theory, numerical methods, remote sensing, antenna applications, phased arrays, biomedical devices, and inverse scattering, and is the author of the books Problem Solving in Electromagnetics, Microwave Circuits, and Antenna Design for Communications Engineering (Artech House, 2006) with Peter Russer and Numerical Analysis for Electromagnetic Integral Equations (Artech House, 2008). He is a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and has served the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society as a member of the Education Committee and as a session chair and special session organizer for the International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation.
