Electromagnetics

by Edward J. Rothwell, Michael J. Cloud

Overview

Providing an ideal transition from introductory to advanced concepts, this book builds a foundation that allows electrical engineers to confidently proceed with the development of advanced EM studies, research, and applications. New topics include quasistatics, vector spherical wave functions, and wave matrices. Several application-oriented sections covering guided waves and transmission lines, particle dynamics, shielding, electromagnetic material characterization, and antennas have also been added. Mathematical appendices present helpful background information in the areas of Fourier transforms, dyadics, and boundary value problems.

Editorial Reviews

This text for a first-year graduate sequence in engineering electromagnetics (EM) provides a smooth transition from basic undergraduate EM courses to advanced graduate studies. Emphasizing concepts over problem-solving techniques, it focuses on those topics most important to EM research and those most troublesome to beginning graduate students. Covers the required mathematical background and introduces primary physical principles, building from a well-posed postulate to a coherent description of the EM field and stressing both a physical understanding and a detailed mathematical description of each topic. Rothwell is affiliated with Michigan State University. Cloud is affiliated with Lawrence Technological University. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
