Continuing in the bestselling tradition of the first edition, this edition demonstrates how to pose, numerically analyze, and solve electromagnetic problems (EM). Significant updates include the transition of all FORTRAN code into the more widely used MATLAB® format as well as improvements made to the standard algorithm for the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method and the treatment of absorbing boundary conditions in FDTD, the finite element method, and the transmission-line-matrix method. In addition to updated examples and new homework problems throughout, the second edition adds a chapter on the method of lines. An appendix covers use of MATLAB code. A solution manual is available for qualifying instructors

Written by one of the foremost researchers in the field, this book provides a solid understanding of Monte Carlo methods and their applications in electromagnetic computation. Including much of his own work, the author brings together essential information from several different publications. He presents Monte Carlo methods in a systematic way, providing solutions to Maxwell’s, Laplace’s, and Poisson’s equations using the finite difference method, Exodus method, and more. Supplying MATLAB ® code for many examples, the text includes end-of-chapter problems and examples to highlight the application of Monte Carlo techniques in electromagnetics.

Exploring why broadband networks are important in modern-day telecommunications, this text covers the concepts and components of both standard and emerging broadband communication network systems. It presents the latest advances and technology, such as IPv6, next-generation SONET, and WiMax, as well as other topics that include fiber channels, VPN, ISDN, ATM, cable modems, DSL, passive optical networks, satellite communications, and network security, testing, and analysis. Unlike similar texts, the book treats wireless data and personal communication services in separate chapters and includes end-of-chapter exercises to reinforce concepts in the text.

This unique book shows readers how to establish the performance characteristics of a LAN before putting it to use in a particular type of situation. Simulation of Local Area Networks consists of eight chapters, each with its own extensive list of references. It includes general information on principles and simulation, complete computer code listings, and special purpose languages such as GPSS, SIMSCRIPT, GASP, SIMULA, SLAM, and RESQ. Criteria for language selection are included. The entire code is put together in the appendixes.
