The accurate and efficient solution of Maxwell’s equation is the problem addressed by the scientific discipline called Computational ElectroMagnetics (CEM). Many macroscopic phenomena in a great number of fields are governed by this set of differential equations: electronic, geophysics, medical and biomedical technologies, virtual EM prototyping, besides the traditional antenna and propagation ...

Dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Science in Technology to be presented with due permission for public examination and debate in Auditorium S4 at Helsinki University of Technology (Espoo, Finland) on the 26th of May 2001 at 12 o'clock noon. which are all gratefully acknowledged. Finally, I use the opportunity to express my gratitude to my wife Mari, who took the risk to marry a numericia...

A comprehensive analysis of electromagnetic (EM) inversion applied to pavement profiling by using a monostatic ground penetrating radar (GPR) is presented. Since in GPR systems using transfers EM (TEM) horns, the antenna is positioned close to the the investigated medium and a strong EM interaction occurs. This effect is taken into account by modeling the antenna with equivalent sources placed ...

Grid-enabled portals are popular as a means to create web-accessible problem-solving environments (PSEs) that allow scientists to access distributed resources, and to monitor and execute distributed Grid applications from a Web browser. In this paper, we describe a web-based portal, based on GridSphere portlets, that deploys services for discovery and management of distributed resources, and fo...

Abstract. The target of this paper is to present a new approach to the electromagnetic field based on the systematic use of the global (i.e. integral) quantities. The equations of electomagnetism are obtained in a finite form directly starting from experimental facts without passing throught the differential formulation. This finite formulation is the natural extension of the network theory to ...

To calculate and evaluate wave scattering and penetration of electromagnetic waves in different biological tissues it is necessary to use a realistic model of the human body, with all tissues resolved and separately assigned with appropriate electric/magnetic properties. We report the development of a realistic 3D whole-body human model that has been adapted for simulation in CST software, cont...

The modeling and solution of large-scale problems in computational electromagnetics (CEM) requires the application of the right tool for the right job in order to minimize the potential for error generation and propagation during each step of the process. The subtleties of this issue are associated with knowing where sources of error can arise, how to quantify them, and what methods can be used...
