Product Description
This book will enable readers to handle various EMC problems, to develop their own EMC computational models in applications in research and industry, and to better understand numerical methods developed and used by other researchers and engineers not only in EMC, but in other areas of engineering. For example, students and engineers can use the calculation methods for the radiation of base station antennas for planning the location of GSM and UMTS base stations and for the human exposure assessment based on material covered. The applied models can also be used to solve other research problems. This book will provide a crash course in basics on electromagnetics and numerical modeling, and will cover a broad range of EMC problems of interest.

Learn the latest numerical methods to solve complex electromagnetic compatibility problems

This text combines the basics of electromagnetics with numerical modeling to tackle a broad range of current electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problems, including problems dealing with lightning, transmission lines, and grounding systems. The author sets forth a solid foundation in the basics before advancing to specialized topics. Not only do readers learn to solve EMC problems, they also learn to develop their own EMC computational models for applications in both research and industry.

Advanced Modeling in Computational Electromagnetic Compatibility is divided into three complementary parts:

• 
  
  Part One, Fundamental Concepts in Computational Electromagnetic Compatibility, provides readers with all the basics of electromagnetic theory. Next, the author introduces the basics of numerical modeling, including the design and use of computational models for the analysis of static, quasi-static, and scattering problems.
• 
  
  Part Two, Analysis of Thin Wire Antennas and Scatterers, analyzes wire antennas using the frequency domain and the time domain integral equation formulation. The author demonstrates the advantage of the Boundary Element Method for handling EMC problems that involve analysis of wire configurations of arbitrary shapes.
• 
  
  Part Three, Computational Models in Electromagnetic Compatibility, sets forth the solutions of specific EMC problems using the wire antenna theory presented in Part Two. The final chapter looks at the growing controversy surrounding the potential health risks associated with exposure to low frequency and transient electromagnetic fields.

Throughout the text, numerical examples taken from both academia and industry are provided. References at the end of each chapter guide readers to additional information for each topic. In short, with this text, readers can fully leverage antenna theory and numerical methods for the solution of EMC problems.
