Ensure the accuracy of your results when applying the Finite Element Method (FEM) to electromagnetic and antenna problems with this self-contained reference. It provides you with a solid understanding of the method, describes its key elements and numerical techniques, and identifies various approaches to using the FEM in solving real-world microwave field problems.

Authored by four leading industry professionals, this information-packed, practical guide presents you with powerful new techniques for automatically generating self-adaptive meshes—saving you hours of computation time you'd otherwise spend producing adequate meshes by hand. You also learn a groundbreaking new method that allows you to solve scattering and radiation problems from open regions without the need for hybrid procedures or absorbing boundary conditions.

Filled with page after page of real-world examples and more than 1,200 equations, this book is essential reading for microwave engineers who need to understand the latest numerical techniques behind FEM software applications, and for researchers wanting to get up to speed on new FEM adaptive procedures. It also serves as a valuable learning tool for graduate-level EM engineering students.
