This text/reference is a detailed look at the development and use of
integral equation methods for electromagnetic analysis, specifically for
antennas and radar scattering. Developers and practitioners will
appreciate the broad-based approach to understanding and utilizing
integral equation methods and the unique coverage of historical
developments that led to the current state-of-the-art. In contrast to
existing books, Integral Equation Methods for Electromagnetics lays
the groundwork in the initial chapters so students and basic users can
solve simple problems and work their way up to the most advanced and
current solutions.
This is the first book to discuss the solution of two-dimensional
integral equations in many forms of their application and utility. As 2D
problems are simpler to discuss, the student and basic reader can gain
the necessary expertise before diving into 3D applications. This is also
the first basic text to cover fast integral methods for metallic,
impedance, and material geometries. It will provide the student or
advanced reader with a fairly complete and up-to-date coverage of
integral methods for composite scatterers.
