Hello si-lister, Oliver Heaviside wrangled Maxwell's equations down to a neat four, so why are there about four thousand different EM solvers? Why so many techniques and implementations? When to use which? What's the quasi- in quasi-static? Isn't '3D planar' an oxymoron? If there's a full wave solver, why isn't there a half wave solver? Isn't the 0.5 dimension in a 2.5D solver a bit like being half pregnant? We're offering free webcast to answer all of these questions -- well, OK, not the last few: I made those up -- and more. Title: Which EM Solver Should I Use? The Real Abstract: Different applications require different EM simulation technologies, but it is not always easy to determine which technology is best for a particular application. In this webcast we will review the most common EM simulations technologies in use today for RF, microwave and high-speed digital design projects: Method of Moments (MoM), Finite Element Method (FEM) and Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD). We will start with some background theory, and then show several application examples that highlight the strength of each technology.
