Summary

The lessons from the previous chapters are here applied to a very brief discussion of numerical techniques. First we show how to calculate the capacitance of three-dimensional structures; we then follow this with similar calculations of inductance. Both of these are well defined in the long wavelength approximation. We then describe how a full wave numerical solutions can be implemented using the popular method-of-moments. We follow this by discussing how to implement excitations or wave ports and how to implement boundary conditions between different dielectric layers.
