Finite Integration Technique/Evidence
Method evidence record

Finite Integration Technique

The Finite Integration Technique (FIT) is a numerical method for solving Maxwell equations on structured grids, formulating electromagnetics as a system of integral equations over grid cells. Introduced by Thomas Weiland in 1977, FIT bridges finite differences and finite elements, offering excellent accuracy, stability, and computational efficiency for a wide range of electromagnetic problems. FIT is the foundation of commercial solvers like CST Microwave Studio and is widely used in RF, microwave, and EMC engineering.
