Summary

"This single resource provides complete guidance on FDTD techniques and applications, from basic concepts to the current state of the art. It enables professionals to more efficiently and effectively design and analyze key electronics and photonics technologies, including wireless communications devices, high-speed digital and microwave circuits, and integrated optics. It is also ideal for senior-year and graduate-level university courses in computational electrodynamics. In addition, to supplement the third edition, the authors and publisher have created a Web site where instructors can find solutions to the problems, sample FDTD PML codes, text updates/errata, and downloadable color graphics and videos."--BOOK JACKET.
