Integral Equation Techniques in Transient Electromagnetics (Advances in Electrical and Electronic Engineering Series)

This unique text covers both the indirect and direct approaches to integral equation techniques in transient electromagnetics in parallel. The time independent method of moments and the time domain finite element integral equation method are both fully presented. Various applications of practical interest such as modelling of wire antenna arrays, analysis of aboveground and underground cables, lightning effects analysis, analysis of transients on printed circuit boards (PCB) and the study of the effects on the human body exposed to transient electromagnetic radiation are included. The authors also provide several computational examples of interest to postgraduate students, researchers and engineers working in this area.
