Abstract
Nowadays, many commercial electromagnetic (EM) simulators are available. EM simulation technology and simulators have improved very much because of the amazing improvement of computers. It became possible for engineers to use EM simulators without knowledge of EM analysis algorithms. However, it is desirable for engineers to understand the underlying EM analysis algorithms to master EM simulation technology. This paper presents various EM analysis algorithms, such as the method of moments(MoM), the finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) method, the finite-difference frequency-domain(FDFD) method, and the finite element method (FEM), using a one-dimensional problem for young and/or new engineers. The formulation is very easy in one-dimensional problem, and the key point is easy-to-understand. It is also possible to choose suitable EM analysis algorithm, as well as EM simulator, for a problem to be solved if one has knowledge about the EM analysis algorithm. The objective of this paper is helping engineers to understand difference of EM analysis algorithms.
