Book 2

The analysis of radiation and scattering from thin wire structures using the integral equation approach is a very important topic in antenna theory and also in many areas of electromagnetic compatability (EMC). Written in the form of a research report, this book aims to explain the theoretical background of the wire antenna analysis in both the frequency and time domain, and covers many important topics regarding wire antennas and related EMC topics. It also introduces the reader to the Finite Element Integral Equation Method (FEIEM) developed by the author.

Transient electromagnetic phenomena can be treated in two ways, either using direct time domain modeling or frequency domain analysis applying the inverse Fourier transform. Both approaches are important since each has distinct advantages depending on the situation or the application. Offering a unique opportunity for academic researchers and engineers from industry to follow both the indirect and direct approach in parallel, this book starts by reviewing fundamental aspects of transient electromagnetics followed by the governing differential and integral equations. A special feature is the detailed treatment given to both the frequency and time domain integral equation techniques originally developed by the authors. The time independent Method of Moments and the time domain Finite Element Integral Equation Method are both fully presented. Various applications of practical interest such as modeling of wire antenna arrays, analysis of aboveground and underground cables, lightning effects analysis, analysis of transients on printed circuit boards (PCBs), and the study of the effects on the human body of exposure to transient electromagnetic radiation are also covered.

v. 3

The modelling of radiation and scattering of arrays composed of straight thin wires is a very important topic, not only in antenna theory and applications, but also in many electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) related applications. This book, accompanied by the related TWiNS (Thin Wire Numerical Solver) software package is an extension of the book by D. Poljak entitled "Electromagnetic Modelling of Wire Antenna Structures", which is dedicated to the analysis of thin wires in frequency and time domains via an integral equation approach. "Computer Aided Design of Wire Structures" extends the issue of the aforementioned book, and deals with an analysis of thin wire arrays in the frequency and time domain via the TWiNS code. Using this code, it is possible to calculate the corresponding current distribution, near and far field, radiation pattern and input impedance. This book is divided into two parts. The first part is concerned with the theoretical background and the frequency and time domain numerical modelling procedures for thin wire arrays on which the TWiNS code has been based. Frequency and time domain GB-IBEM procedures implemented in the TWiNS code are presented in detail.Many illustrative computational examples pertaining not only to academic, but also to some real world problems, are also enclosed.
The second part of the book is devoted to the description of the TWiNS code and contains the complete user manual together with some worked examples related to the frequency and time domain examples of wire arrays.

The presence of electromagnetic fields in the environment has recently been linked with possible adverse health effects. Providing fundamental information gathered from the rapidly growing field of computational bioelectromagnetics, this book fills the need for a comprehensive text on the many aspects of interaction between human beings and electromagnetic fields.
