Describes applications of time-domain EM reciprocity and the
Cagniard-deHoop technique to achieve solutions to fundamental antenna
radiation and scattering problems
This book offers an account of applications of the time-domain
electromagnetic (TD EM) reciprocity theorem for solving selected
problems of antenna theory. It focuses on the development of both TD
numerical schemes and analytical methodologies suitable for analyzing TD
EM wave fields associated with fundamental antenna topologies.
Time-Domain Electromagnetic Reciprocity in Antenna Modeling begins by
applying the reciprocity theorem to formulate a fundamentally new TD
integral equation technique - the Cagniard-deHoop method of moments
(CdH-MoM) - regarding the pulsed EM scattering and radiation from a
thin-wire antenna. Subsequent chapters explore the use of TD EM
reciprocity to evaluate the impact of a scatterer and a lumped load on
the performance of wire antennas and propose a straightforward
methodology for incorporating ohmic loss in the introduced solution
methodology. Other topics covered in the book include the pulsed EM
field coupling to transmission lines, formulation of the CdH-MoM
concerning planar antennas, and more. In addition, the book is
supplemented with simple MATLAB code implementations, so that readers
can test EM reciprocity by conducting (numerical) experiments. In
addition, this text:
- Applies the thin-sheet boundary conditions to incorporate dielectric,
conductive and plasmonic properties of planar antennas
- Provides illustrative numerical examples that validates the described
methodologies
- Presents analyzed problems at a fundamental level so that readers can
fully grasp the underlying principles of solution methodologies
- Includes appendices to supplement material in the book
Time-Domain Electromagnetic Reciprocity in Antenna Modeling is an
excellent book for researchers and professors in EM modeling and for
applied researchers in the industry.
