Balamati Choudhury, Rakesh Mohan JhaCambridge University Press, 1/14/2016EAN 9781107122482, ISBN10: 1107122481Hardcover, 215 pages, 24.4 x 17 x 1.8 cmLanguage: EnglishSoft computing techniques are emerging as an important tool in solving design, performance and optimisation problems in electromagnetics. Soft Computing in Electromagnetics offers detailed discussion on the application of soft computing concepts in the field of metamaterial antennas, radar absorbers, transmission line characterisation and optimised radar absorbing material (RAM) and introduces implementation of soft computing tools in a relatively new area of metamaterials. The soft computing methods are used to optimise fault detection, electromagnetic propagation and path loss detection. The development of two CAD packages for design of metamaterial split ring resonators (SRR) and path-loss prediction is discussed. The concepts are explained with the help of algorithms and the corresponding software codes. Numerical examples and MATLAB codes are provided throughout the text to facilitate understanding.PrefaceAcknowledgementsList of tablesList of figuresList of abbreviations1. Introduction2.
