Time Domain Electromagnetics deals with a specific technique in electromagnetics within the general area of electrical engineering. This mathematical method has become a standard for a wide variety of applications for design and problem solving. This method of analysis in electromagnetics is directly related to advances in cellular and mobile communications technology, as well as traditional EM areas such as radar, antennas, and wave propagation. Most of the material is available in the research journals which is difficult for a non-specialist to locate, read, understand, and effectively use for the problem at hand.
* Only book currently available to practicing engineers and research scientists exclusively devoted to this subject
* Includes contributions by the world's leading experts in electromagnetics
* Presents the most popular methods used in time domain analysis are included at one place with thorough discussion of the methods in an easily understandable style
* In each chapter, many simple and practical examples are discussed thoroughly to illustrate the salient points of the material presented
* All chapters are written in a consistent style that allows the book to be of use for self-study by professionals as well as for use in a graduate-level course in electrical engineering

Editorial Reviews

Review

The textbook describes the use of existing direct time domain methods for calculating electromagnetic scattering/interaction phenomenon. Consisting of nine chapters, the first half of the book deals with the solution of integral equations, while the second part examines the differential equation methods. Familiarity with Maxwell's equations is assumed. No exercises are included. -- Copyright © 1999 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR All rights reserved Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR

From the Back Cover

Time Domain Electromagnetics is the first book devoted entirely to describing detailed coverage of tested time domain methods. This book is the ideal reference for the growing number of professional engineers and students interested in direct time domain methods used in calculating electromagnetic scattering/interaction phenomena. The recent surges in activities and design challenges in all areas of EMP, short pulse radar, and other related applications, have largely contributed to the necessity of this important book.

Time domain methods have several advantages over conventional frequency domain methods. For example, time domain methods work better for wide-bond signature studies, are better suited for parallel processing, and provide better visual representations for understanding the field interactions.

Time Domain Electromagnetics brings together chapters written by the world's leading experts on time domain methods and applications. Practical examples are used throughout in an easily understandable style. This is an ideal book for the non-specialist and specialist in the wide range of professional fields requiring a thorough comprehension of electromagnetics. It also serves as an essential reference for all professional electrical engineers with a basic understanding of Maxwell's equations and a knowledge of basic undergraduate electrical engineering and mathematics. Additionally, this book has been specifically developed to serve as a textbook for course use and self-learning.
