� As analytical solutions are difficult (or impossibl e), there exist many
computational methods that are based on approximati ons of Maxwell’s
equations and/or boundary conditions and/or materia l properties.
� ”The power of analytical models over full-wave comp utational simulations is
the significantly lower calculating time. With anal ytical models and modern
mathematical software (like MATLAB or MAPLE), the s olving time is decreased
into seconds. The analytical result is always more or less an approximation,
whereas the EM simulation is as exact as the user’s know-how with the
simulator enables. However in practical design, the value of the saved
calculation time is multiple times worth of the dec reased accuracy when the
limits of the model are acknowledged...”
