Theory and Computation of Electromagnetic Fields in Layered Media

Explore the theory and numerical methods used to compute electromagnetic fields in multi-layered media

In Theory and Computation of Electromagnetic Fields in Layered Media, two distinguished electrical engineering researchers deliver a detailed and up-to-date overview of the theory and numerical methods used to determine electromagnetic fields in layered media with embedded 3D metal/dielectric objects. The book begins with an introduction to Maxwell's equations, the fundamentals of electromagnetic theory, and concepts relating to Green's functions of the layered media. It then moves on to solve canonical problems of vertical and horizontal dipole radiation, describe Method of Moments schemes, discuss integral equations governing electromagnetic fields, and explains the Michalski-Zheng theory of mixed-potential Green's function representation in multi-layered media.

Chapters on the evaluation of Sommerfeld integrals, procedures for incident field evaluation in layers, and the theory of image extraction are also included, along with:

• A thorough description to the methods of Weighted Averages, Discrete Complex Images, and Rational Function Fitting
• Comprehensive explorations of the traditional and mixed-potential forms of layered medium Green's function in three dimensions
• Integral equations for full-wave, electro-quasi-static, and magneto-quasi-static fields in two and three dimensions
• In-depth examinations of the Riemann surfaces, branch cuts, multi-valued functions, and integration techniques on the complex plane

Perfect for scholars and students of electromagnetic analysis in layered media, Theory and Computation of Electromagnetic Fields in Layered Media will also earn a place in the libraries of CAD industry engineers and software developers working in the area of computational electromagnetics.
