3rd Edition
by Jennifer E. Houle (Author), Dennis M. Sullivan (Author)
Provides an introduction to the
Finite Difference Time Domain method and shows how Python code can be
used to implement various simulations
This book allows
engineering students and practicing engineers to learn the
finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and properly apply it toward
their electromagnetic simulation projects. Each chapter contains a
concise explanation of an essential concept and instruction on its
implementation into computer code. Included projects increase in
complexity, ranging from simulations in free space to propagation in
dispersive media. This third edition utilizes the Python programming
language, which is becoming the preferred computer language for the
engineering and scientific community.
Electromagnetic Simulation Using the FDTD Method with Python, Third Edition
is written with the goal of enabling readers to learn the FDTD method
in a manageable amount of time. Some basic applications of signal
processing theory are explained to enhance the effectiveness of FDTD
simulation. Topics covered in include one-dimensional simulation with
the FDTD method, two-dimensional simulation, and three-dimensional
simulation. The book also covers advanced Python features and deep
regional hyperthermia treatment planning.
Electromagnetic Simulation Using the FDTD Method with Python:
- Guides the reader from basic programs to complex, three-dimensional programs in a tutorial fashion
- Includes
a rewritten fifth chapter that illustrates the most interesting
applications in FDTD and the advanced graphics techniques of Python
- Covers peripheral topics pertinent to time-domain simulation, such as Z-transforms and the discrete Fourier transform
- Provides Python simulation programs on an accompanying website
An ideal book for senior undergraduate engineering students studying FDTD, Electromagnetic Simulation Using the FDTD Method with Python will also benefit scientists and engineers interested in the subject.
