One ongoing extension of the Antenna Toolbox is the utilization of the Fast Multipole Method (FMM) developed by the group of Dr. Leslie Greengard and the others. It is intended to enable modeling large antenna reflectors, antennas on large platforms (airplanes and cars), and large antennas arrays.
The online materials contain a suite of open‐source MATLAB® scripts along with the supporting supplement, which demonstrate how to implement this approach and how to apply it to antenna reflectors and scatterers of large compared to the wavelength sizes.
We thank Dr. Angelo Puzella of Raytheon Technologies for numerous constructive comments and suggestions.

List of Notations
Some notations used in the text
All complex‐valued Roman quantities are denoted by bold letters. Examples include
1 Vector electric field, time domain
2 Vector electric field, complex phasor in frequency domain
3 Electric field component, time domain
4 Electric field component, complex phasor in frequency domain
All complex‐valued Greek quantities are denoted by the same letters. Examples include
1 Electric potential, time domain
2 Electric potential, complex phasor in frequency domain
Unit vectors in the directions of respective axes are denoted as
, , etc.
In spherical co‐ordinates (
or ), θ is always computed from zenith. Azimuthal angle notations φ and ϕ are equivalent; they are used interchangeably.
Time dependency exp(jωt) is used everywhere.
About the Companion Website
This book is accompanied by a companion website:
www.wiley.com/go/Makarov/AntennaandEMModelingwithMATLAB2e
The companion website is an important part of this text. It provides Antenna Toolbox laboratories in the sequential order. It also provides MATLAB® codes which employ the Fast Multipole Method (FMM) for large‐size antenna/scattering problems.
