Book Description

ISBN-10: 0792374622 | ISBN-13: 978-0792374626 | Publication Date: August 15, 2001 | Edition: 2nd

The application of computational electromagnetics to real-world EMI/EMC engineering is an emerging technology. With the advancement in electronics, EMI/EMC issues have greatly increased in complexity. As a result, it is no longer possible to rely exclusively on traditional techniques and expect cost-effective solutions. The first edition of this book introduced computational electromagnetics to EMI/EMC engineering. This second edition continues the introduction of computational electromagnetics to EMI/EMC engineering, but also adds new modeling techniques, namely the Partial Element Equivalent Circuit method and the Transmission Line Matrix method, and updates to the science of EMI/EMC modeling that have occurred since the first edition was published. This book combines the essential elements of electromagnetic theory, computational techniques, and EMI/EMC engineering as they apply to computational modeling for EMI/EMC applications. It is intended to provide an understanding for those interested in incorporating modeling techniques in their work. A variety of modeling techniques are needed for anyone interested in using computational modeling in the real world. This book includes an introduction of all the popular modeling techniques, such as the Finite-Difference Time-Domain method, the Method of Moments, the Finite Element Method, the Partial Element Equivalent Circuit method and the Transmission Line Matrix method. EMI/EMC Computational Modeling Handbook, Second Edition will serve many different levels of readers. It will serve as a basic introduction to modeling as applied to EMI/EMC problems for the engineer interested in getting started, and it will help the person already using modeling as a tool to become more effective in using different modeling techniques. It will also be useful for the engineer who is familiar with computational techniques and wishes to apply them to EMI/EMC applications. This book can also be used as a text to help students of electromagnetic theory and application better understand real-world challenges facing engineers.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is GREAT, September 1, 2002

By 

jim smith (maryland, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: EMI/EMC Computational Modeling Handbook (Hardcover)

this book is a great help to get started in using modeling tools. I find all the major techniques explained in one place, instead of needing to get 5 different books!

the help to get started in creating models from the complex products was especially helpful.

the explaination about validating the models without needing to do measurements for everything was useful and allowed me to get started right away!

this is a unique book, in my experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to know about the various modeling techniques, and works in the real world

5.0 out of 5 stars very useful book, September 1, 2002

By 

john jones (florida, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: EMI/EMC Computational Modeling Handbook (Hardcover)

this book can help engineers get started with modeling for EMC
it is not an EMC design book, and it needs to be used by
people with some amount of intelligence. it will not hold your hand, but it WILL give you the information needed to be an engineer.

the previous reviewer was obviously looking for a cookbook, and this is a very dangerous topic to use as a cook book. I, for one, am glad that the authors provided the information in a way that allows me to be the engineer, and not simply follow blindly.

I recommend this book to any ENGINEER who can think, and wants to know more about EMC modeling and simulation

This review is from: EMI/EMC Computational Modeling Handbook (2nd Edition) (The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science) (Hardcover)

It did not impress me either with the technical contents or with the presentation style.
