Frontiers in Electromagnetics

Electrical Engineering Frontiers in Electromagnetics Frontiers in Electromagnetics is the first complete resource on today’s major advances in long–standing electromagnetics problems. Highly regarded editors Douglas H. Werner and Raj Mittra, along with preeminent researchers in the field, provide state–of–the–art discussions on emerging areas of electromagnetics. Antenna and microwave engineers and students will find key insights into current trends and techniques of electromagnetics likely to shape future directions of this increasingly important topic. Each chapter includes a comprehensive analysis and ample references on innovative subjects that range from combining electromagnetic theory with mathematical concepts to the most recent techniques in electromagnetic optimization and estimation. The contributors also present the latest developments in analytical and numerical methods for solving electromagnetics problems. With a level of expertise unmatched in the field, Frontiers in Electromagnetics provides readers with a solid foundation to understand this rapidly changing area of technology. Topics covered on fast–developing applications in electromagnetics include:Fractal electrodynamics, fractal antennas and arrays, and scattering from fractally rough surfacesKnot electrodynamicsThe role of group theory and symmetryFractional calculusLommel and multipole expansionsEstimation and optimization theoryComplex media theoryTheory and applications of Perfectly Matched LayersRecent advances in Finite–Difference Time–Domain techniques
