Summary
Annotation This practical "how to" book is an ideal introduction to electromagnetic field-solvers. Where most books in this area are strictly theoretical, this unique resource provides engineers with helpful advice on selecting the right tools for their RF (radio frequency) and high-speed digital circuit design work
