Adjoint Sensitivity Analysis of High Frequency Structures with Matlab(r)

This book presents the theory of adjoint sensitivity analysis for high frequency applications through time-domain electromagnetic simulations in MATLAB®. Using the popular Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method, the book shows how wideband sensitivities can be efficiently estimated for different types of materials and structures.
