Abstract:
Over the past five decades, computational electromagnetics has evolved into the most important field in the general area of electromagnetics. The importance of computational electromagnetics is due to the predictive power of Maxwell’s theory – Maxwell’s theory can predict the design performances or experimental outcome if Maxwell’s equations are solved correctly. Moreover, Maxwell’s theory, which governs the basic principles behind electricity, is extremely pertinent in many engineering and scientific technologies such as radar, microwave and RF engineering, remote sensing, geoelectromagnetics, bioelectromagnetics, antennas, wireless communication, optics, and high-frequency circuits. Furthermore, Maxwell’s theory is valid over a broad range of frequencies spanning static to optics, and over a large dynamic range of length scales, from subatomic to inter-galactic. Because of this, computational electromagnetics is a very important subject which has already impacted and will continue to impact many engineering and scientific technologies.In this presentation, we will review the past progress and current status of computational electromagnetics, and briefly discuss its future directions. We will first give an overview of computational electromagnetics methods and then use a variety of examples to demonstrate their applications.
