Abstract :
Many microwave educators are anxious to introduce computers into their teaching of electromagnetics and microwaves to make the abstract material more attractive to students. Options range from text and images displayed on a computer screen to multimedia packages and professional CAD tools. This paper discusses an approach called "Virtual Electromagnetics Laboratory" that involves fully interactive and user-definable computer experiments based on time-domain simulation and dynamic visualization of fields and waves.
