Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchanan, W. J., & Gupta, N. K. (1996). Machine independent algorithm for concurrent finite-element problems. In 3rd International IEEE Conference on Computation in Electromagnetics, 1996 (17-20). https://doi.org/10.1049/cp%3A19960150

The finite-element method, initially developed for mechanical and civil engineering applications, is now applied to electromagnetics. This paper describes how parallel processing applies to finite-element simulations. The methods discussed are the pa...

The finite-difference time-domain method gives accurate results for the calculation of electromagnetic wave propagation and hence can be used in a number of university final-year projects. The paper shows a novel application of the method in predicti... Read More about Prediction of electric fields from conductors on a PCB by 3D finite-difference time-domain method..

The authors have taken the 3D FDTD approach to simulate the propagation of electrical signals within and around printed circuit boards (PCBs). This relates to the work currently being carried out into the propagation of very high speed digital pulses...

Simulation of radiation from a microstrip antenna using three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. (1993)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchanan, W. J., Gupta, N. K., & Arnold, J. M. (1993). Simulation of radiation from a microstrip antenna using three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method.

The authors have used the FDTD method to model and predict the radiation patterns from a microstrip antenna. One problem in modelling microstrip antennas is that these structures are highly resonant. The authors have described techniques to reduce th... Read More about Simulation of radiation from a microstrip antenna using three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method..
