Computational Electrodynamics: The Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method, Third Edition 3rd Edition by Allen Taflove (PDF)

Description

This extensively revised and expanded third edition of the Artech House bestseller, Computational Electrodynamics: The Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method, offers engineers the most up-to-date and definitive resource on this critical method for solving Maxwell’s equations. The method helps practitioners design antennas, wireless communications devices, high-speed digital and microwave circuits, and integrated optical devices with unsurpassed efficiency. There has been considerable advancement in FDTD computational technology over the past few years, and the third edition brings professionals the very latest details with entirely new chapters on important techniques, major updates on key topics, and new discussions on emerging areas such as nanophotonics. What’s more, to supplement the third edition, the authors have created a Web site with solutions to problems, downloadable graphics and videos, and updates, making this new edition the ideal textbook on the subject as well.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: About the Author Allen Taflove has pioneered the finite-difference time-domain method since 1972, and is a leading authority in the field of computational electrodynamics.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This book is an excellent and thoroughly enjoyable reference/tutorial. The book is suitable for use in an advanced undergraduate/first-year graduate class with a prerequisite of one semester of undergraduate E&M. (The authors’ preface indicates that this prerequisite is not entirely necessary, but I don’t see how you could understand what is going on without it.)The book can also be used for self-study. In this vein, the book’s website contains 1d-, 2d-, and 3d-matlab scripts that are excellent for learning how to actually implement all of this stuff. The third edition weighs in at just over 1000 pages with a price tag of $139, which is $10 cheaper than the 2nd edition was when it came out.Allen Taflove is, perhaps, the leader in the development and use of this technique. Allen is now at Northwestern. Susan Hagness was a recent PhD student of his (1998) and is now an associate professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at the University of Wisconsin. The authors are at the forefront in the development of applications.The third edition is significantly larger than the 2nd edition and includes several applications chapters that were cowritten with the major researchers in the field. The extraordinary explosion of application areas for FDTD is captured in the later chapters, and these chapters give students and new researchers a clear flavor of the vitality and interest in the field which extends from the detection of breast cancer to ELF pulses produced by earthquakes. It is refreshing to find authors who so readily give credit to others in their field. Taflove and Hagness have been very gracious in this regard, and as a consequence have a much better book and a very detailed and useful bibliography.I very heartily recommend this book to anyone who wishes to use FDTD techniques.

⭐This is an excellent book that covers FDTD well but not completely. The authors are very knowledgeable and the book is quite easy to read.A few things are not covered as well as I would have liked:* Adding voltage, current sources.* Adding resistors, inductors, caps.Also, a few things such as the exponential equations for Berenger’s PML are not covered well. To complement this, you need Berenger’s original paper on the subject.The example code on the web site for the publisher:[…]is exteremely useful, since the code contains what the text of the book is missing in cases.[…]I’d highly recommend this book as the foundational book for FDTD and also suggest that you complement this with some of the original papers and also the book:The Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method for Electromagnetics with MATLAB simulations by Atef Elsherbeni and Veysel Demir,which contains information on current,voltage sources and more extensive code examples.

⭐After a nightmarish experience with “The Finite Difference Time Domain Method for Electromagnetics: With MATLAB Simulations”, I bought this book, as an attempt to understand how to create a EM simulation for my thesis work.This book is clear and complete, evolving the topic from the basics to the most advanced topics. I shoud have bought this one and never bothered looking any other…

⭐The text itself is rather good (probably 3.5 out of 5), though too focused on trivial details, but the printing quality leaves much to be desired. The Amazon should have warned that what they sell is a print-on-demand book with no color pictures and visible text distortion (the effect you may notice when using a cheap ink-jet printer). The book looks like a fake, huge disappointment.

⭐The Bible of the FDTD method. For those starting on the subject and also a reference for those working on it for long time.

⭐If you want to understand how FDTD works and you don’t know what is going on in Rsoft or Lumerical codes, you can find the answers here!

⭐This book is massive and contains just about everything about FDTD. The style is definately reference, not pedagogical. I wouldn’t recommend trying to learn from it, but it’s incredibly comprehensive. If more things were fully worked out it would be too big to carry. References are pretty complete, but I wish the proofs were done in more detail.

⭐Book came in good condition. A bible so to speak of FDTD, it should complement my studies well.

⭐Very clear and concise, and very thorough!

⭐Les livres Computational Electrodynamics sont des références sur la FDTD. Le livre est un peu usé par contre, et l’acheminement un peu long. Mais c’est le contenu du livre qui compte.この本を持っていればFDTD法の基本、応用が網羅されている。論文調査をするより、これで調べたほうが手っ取り早い。一部わかりにくいところもあるが、それはハンドブック的になので致し方ないところ。ただ、最新の情報はないので、最後の方のハードウェアアクセラレーションの部分などは古いので、読んでも意味がない。次のエディションに期待したい。
