Computational electrodynamics. The finite difference time domain method

Written by the pioneer and foremost authority on the subject, this new book is both a comprehensive university textbook and professional/research reference on the finite-difference time-domain (FD-TD) computational solution method for Maxwell's equations. It presents in-depth discussions of: The revolutionary Berenger PML absorbing boundary condition; FD-TD modelling of nonlinear, dispersive, and gain optical materials used in lasers and optical microchips; unstructured FD-TD meshes for modelling of complex systems; 2.5-dimensional body-of-revolution FD-TD algorithms; Linear and nonlinear electronic circuit models, including a seamless tie-in to SPICE; Digital signal postprocessing of FD-TD data; FD-TD modelling of microlaser cavities; and FD-TD software development for the latest Intel and Cray massively parallel computers.

computational Electrodynamics: The Finite-difference Time-domain Method Is The Essential Reference For Professional Engineers, University Professors And Students Using, Teaching, Or Learning Fdtd Solutions To Maxwell's Equations. The Book Provides A Comprehensive Tutorial Of Fdtd Theory And Techniques As Well As Details On The Latest Fdtd Methods For The Efficient Design Of Key Electronic Components Such As Antennas For Wireless Communications Devices, High-speed Digital And Microwave Circuits, And Integrated Optics.
