Electromagnetics, Microwave Circuit and Antenna Design for Communications Engineering

by Peter Russer

Overview

If you're looking for a clear, comprehensive and current overview of electromagnetics principles and applications to antenna and microwave circuit design for communications, this newly revised second edition is a smart choice. Among the numerous updates, the second edition features a brand new chapter on filters, an expanded treatment of antennas, and new sections of cylindrical waves and waves in layered media, multiconductor transmission lines, radio waveguides, and aperture coupling. What's more, you now find problem sets that help reinforce the understanding of key concepts in each chapter, making the book an excellent text for related graduate-level courses. For your convenience, the second edition presents examples in both exterior differential form calculus and conventional vector notation.
