This updated edition of a best-seller maintains its position as the essential reference aid for professional engineers using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method for Maxwell’s equations. It explains everything you need to know about this method, and brings you up-to-date on the latest FDTD techniques, saving you time and money. In a single resource, you get the information you need everyday when designing and analyzing key electronic technology such as antennas for wireless communications devices, high-speed digital and microwave circuits, and integrated optics. You can produce more effective designs in less time with this comprehensive treatment of FDTD techniques, theory, modeling methods, and applications. It provides sample FDTD codes written in Matlab that serve as a self-guided refresher, and examples of how to use FDTD to model antennas, advanced digital and high-speed circuits, and micron-scale photonic devices to reduce design time and keep you on the cutting edge. What’s more, you get an updated and expanded discussion of modern engineering applications for FDTD, allowing you to see the big picture, and new tutorial material for improved self-instruction. Software included! Contains a CD-ROM featuring sample FDTD codes with visualization capabilities written in Matlab. System Requirements: 200 MHz processor, 32 MB RAM, 10 MB hard disk space, Matlab Version 5.0.
