Abstract
Any member of our Society is very well aware of the key role that electromagnetic modeling plays in advanced electromagnetic engineering, and the method of moments (MoM), often known also as the
boundary element method
(
BEM
), is among the most popular and widespread techniques. This computational strategy was pioneered in electromagnetics by Prof. Roger F. Harrington, a scientist to which generations of researchers and practitioners are deeply indebted. In this issue of
IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine
, a two-part contribution by Prof. Juan Mosig
[A1]
,
[A2]
pays homage to this outstanding scientific pioneer, and it does it in one of the best possible ways: offering a comprehensive review of the MOM/BEM for the static (part 1) and the dynamic (part 2) cases. This valuable contribution can be a quite convenient and comprehensive starting point for anyone interested in learning more and doing research on the topic. We hope you will enjoy these articles, and make sure to also check out the online supplementary material!
期刊介绍:
IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine actively solicits feature articles that describe engineering activities taking place in industry, government, and universities. All feature articles are subject to peer review. Emphasis is placed on providing the reader with a general understanding of either a particular subject or of the technical challenges being addressed by various organizations, as well as their capabilities to cope with these challenges. Articles presenting new results, review, tutorial, and historical articles are welcome, as are articles describing examples of good engineering. The technical field of interest of the Magazine is the same as the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, and includes the following: antennas, including analysis, design, development, measurement, and testing; radiation, propagation, and the interaction of electromagnetic waves with discrete and continuous media; and applications and systems pertinent to antennas, propagation, and sensing, such as applied optics, millimeter- and sub-millimeter-wave techniques, antenna signal processing and control, radio astronomy, and propagation and radiation aspects of terrestrial and space-based communication, including wireless, mobile, satellite, and telecommunications.
