Description
As educators, David H. Staelin, Ann W. Morgenthaler, and Jin Au Kong saw a need for a book presenting electromagnetic theory and applications in a clear, compact, and "user-friendly" manner relying only on basic physics and mathematics. The result is Electromagnetic Waves. This book provides thorough explanations and relevant, modern examples so that students and practicing engineers will find it a useful reference as well as a tool for self-teaching. It emphasizes basic concepts from both a physical and mathematical perspective. Successive chapters move from simple wave propagation in unbounded free space to the complexities of resonator and antenna design, revisiting basic concepts as each new topic is introduced. Electromagnetic Waves also makes connections between electromagnetics and simple equivalent circuit models wherever possible. The book exposes its readers to a considerable array of mathematical tools as well, ranging from orthogonal function expansions to perturbation techniques and duality, but physical intuition and approximate problem-solving techniques are also emphasized.
