Abstract
A practical approach to introducing variational finite elements to adv anced microwave courses in electromagnetics is described. Using standa rd electromagnetic theory such as complex power flow and waveguide ana lysis an energy functional, based on the conservation of energy, is de rived by applying the divergence theorem to the complex power flow equ ation.
