ABOUT THIS BOOK
Improvements in the accuracy, computational cost, and reliability of computational techniques for high-frequency electromagnetics (including antennas, microwave devices and radar scattering applications) can be achieved through the use of 'high-order' techniques. This book outlines these techniques by presenting high-order basis functions, explaining their use, and illustrating their performance. The specific basis functions under consideration were developed by the authors, and include scalar and vector functions for use with equations such as the vector Helmholtz equation and the electric field integral equation.
REVIEWS
'Higher-Order Techniques in Computational Electromagnetics caters to the needs of serious researchers, programmers, and scientists in the field of computational electromagnetics (CEM). The authors are Prof. Roberto D. Graglia of the Politecnico di Torino in Italy and Prof. Andrew F. Peterson of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, who are both top-notch experts on this subject. This is the fifth title in the Mario Boella Series on Electromagnetism, published by a collaboration between the Institution of Engineering and Technology and SciTech Publishing. The series editor is Prof. Piergiorgio (George) L.E. Uslenghi, who contributed a foreword to the book. With almost 400 pages of encyclopedic information, this is a full-size book containing a lot of rigorous and useful information - it's not bedtime reading! It is a good reference book and will be kept on a conveniently accessible shelf of every active CEM researcher's bookcase.'
