Abstract

The authors summarize certain aspects of EMPACK, a toolbox of subprograms for method-of-moments calculations suitable for solving electro and magnetostatic, time-varying, and time-harmonic electromagnetic problems in various dimensions and with certain possible symmetries present. For illustrative purposes, the authors consider one important feature of EMPACK, the standardized representation of time-harmonic electromagnetic fields used in the moment matrix assembly process. EMPACK includes FORTRAN subprograms to compute static and dynamic scalar potential integrals for linear and constant source densities over various domains.<>
