Finite-Difference Modelling of Electromagnetic Problems in Structured Lattices;Doctoral thesis

摘要

The thesis concentrates on the numerical analysis of electromagnetic fields with the finite difference method. Simple and fast approximative techniques are studied and developed for the estimation of the electromagnetic properties of various structures. Especially, techniques which preserve the simplicity of a structured lattice are explored. The emphasis in the thesis is put more into the rapid estimations than into the absolute accuracy of the studied parameters. Another goal is to give information about the characteristics of the studied structures: filters, dielectric mixtures and frequency selective surfaces.
