  • Abstract
    The direct solution of Maxwell´s equations for high-frequency design at the device level is discussed, focusing on the use of finite-element methods. Some of the computational difficulties encountered are examined, and the use of Delaunay triangulation for mesh generation, which mitigates some of the problems, is described. The application of finite-element analysis to magnetics is discussed.<>
