Advances in Time-Domain Computational Electromagnetic Methods

Discover state-of-the-art time domain electromagnetic modeling and simulation algorithms

Advances in Time-Domain Computational Electromagnetic Methods delivers a thorough exploration of recent developments in time domain computational methods for solving complex electromagnetic problems. The book discusses the main time domain computational electromagnetics techniques, including finite-difference time domain (FDTD), finite-element time domain (FETD), discontinuous Galerkin time domain (DGTD), time domain integral equation (TDIE), and other methods in electromagnetic, multiphysics modeling and simulation, and antenna designs.

The book bridges the gap between academic research and real engineering applications by comprehensively surveying the full picture of current state-of-the-art time domain electromagnetic simulation techniques. Among other topics, it offers readers discussions of automatic load balancing schemes for DG-FETD/SETD methods and convolution quadrature time domain integral equation methods for electromagnetic scattering.

Advances in Time-Domain Computational Electromagnetic Methods also includes:

• Introductions to cylindrical, spherical, and symplectic FDTD, as well as FDTD for metasurfaces with GSTC and FDTD for nonlinear metasurfaces
• Explorations of FETD for dispersive and nonlinear media and SETD-DDM for periodic/ quasi-periodic arrays
• Discussions of TDIE, including explicit marching-on-in-time solvers for second-kind time domain integral equations, TD-SIE DDM, and convolution quadrature time domain integral equation methods for electromagnetic scattering
• Treatments of deep learning, including time domain electromagnetic forward and inverse modeling using a differentiable programming platform

Ideal for undergraduate and graduate students studying the design and development of various kinds of communication systems, as well as professionals working in these fields, Advances in Time-Domain Computational Electromagnetic Methods is also an invaluable resource for those taking advanced graduate courses in computational electromagnetic methods and simulation techniques.
