An introduction to Computational Electromagnetics
Over the past few years CEM has evolved into a separate and important discipline, with applications in Radar Cross Section prediction, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), Communications Technology and Remote Sensing. It is a multi-disciplinary subject, combining the mathematics of vector calculus and numerical analysis with the physics of wave generation and propagation together with an appreciation of computer science and information technology.
- This course aims to unify the separate aspects of CEM into a self contained package, suitable for retraining or refresher courses for staff with backgrounds in electronics, physics or mathematics.
- The course is based on the well established four-day intensive introductory course, which comprises lectures, demonstrations and laboratory sessions.
- A thorough development of the fundamentals of each method is provided. Building on this, the associated laboratories show examples of the advantages and disadvantages of using computers for field calculations and allow an exploration of some of the techniques in more detail. The aim is to give an understanding of the strengths and limitations of the techniques from a practical viewpoint.
