Applied computational eletromagnetics

几十年来，使用计算工具来研究物理现象(例如无线信号传输、医学成像)已经变得无处不在，这在很大程度上是由于计算能力的巨大飞跃。各种形式的计算工具如雨后春笋般涌现，反映了铸造分析问题的多种方法。今天，该领域的研究人员和从业者可以在市场上找到无数的软件包，每个软件包都吹嘘着每年都在不断改进。此外，这些封装和改进经常被用作各种应用的设计过程中不可或缺的一部分，从微波器件到天线，再到光学部件。

The use of computational tools for research into physical phenomena (e.g. wireless signal transmission, medical imaging) has become ubiquitous for several decades now, in large part due to the great leaps forward in computational power. The many methods of casting analytic problems has been mirrored by the many forms of computational tools that have sprung up. Researchers and practitioners in the area today can find a myriad of software packages on the market, with each one boasting improvements that escalate from year to year. Furthermore, these packages and improvements are very often utilized as an integral part of the design process for a variety of applications ranging from microwave devices, to antennas, and on to optical components.
