Краткое описание:

Antenna and EM Modeling with MATLAB Antenna Toolbox™ is a textbook on antennas intended for a one semester course. The core philosophy is to introduce the key antenna concepts and follow them up with full-wave modeling and optimization in the MATLAB Antenna Toolbox. Such an approach will enable immediate testing of theoretical concepts by experimenting in software. It also provides the direct path to independent research work. The fundamental families of antennas – dipoles, loops, patches, and traveling wave antennas – are discussed in detail, together with the antenna arrays. Internally, the toolbox uses the Method of Moments (the method of integral equation) for modeling metal and metal-dielectric antennas. Rao-Wilton-Glisson basis functions on triangular facets are used for the metal parts and edge basis functions on tetrahedra are used for the dielectric parts. Accurate semi-analytical calculations of near-field interactions assure good solution accuracy.
