DESCRIPTION:
The focus is on generic problem-solving techniques -- both mathematical and physically-intuitive, and the presentation of basic electromagnetic theorems -- Poynting, energy, uniqueness, and reciprocity -- explained from a physical perspective. . From the Publisher This intermediate text emphasizes concepts, examples, and problem-solving techniques having wide applicability, and relies only on basic physics and mathematics -- rather than electrostatics, magnetostatics, and quasistatics
Presents the fundamental concepts of plane waves, phasors, polarization, energy, power, and force early — and repeatedly applies them throughout the text to problems with progressively more complex boundary conditions. For students and practicing engineers interested in electromagnetic wave phenomena.. This introduction to electromagnetic waves emphasizes concepts, examples, and problem-solving techniques having wide applicability, and relies only on basic physics and mathematics — rather than electrostatics, magnetostatics, and quasitatics. The focus is on generic problem-solving techniques — both mathematical and physically-intuitive, and the presentation of basic electromagnetic theorems — Poynting, energy, uniqueness, and reciprocity — explained from a physical perspective. Progresses from simple wave propagation in unbounded free space to antenna and resonator design
"Good book, but you better be smart(er than me)." according to Chris Thompson. Seriously, this is a great book for the coverage of the subject matter. But you need to know what the heck you're doing with EM waves. It is not a book for beginners - not even close. I liked it because they get right to the point, talking about the subject matter.They waste no time in the complex math - they assume you can figure that part out on your own. So if you're linear algebra and partial differential equations skills are weak, you'll have trouble. Mine were a little weak and it took me a while to plow through the book. Actual. "One of the Best Texts on EM Theory" according to Dr. Terrence McGarty. Prof Staelin was a wonderful instructor and this text is a tribute to his skills. It is one of the most readable and comprehensive EMT texts available and reads almost like a novel. Its target audience is that of the engineer and it delves into areas that many an engineer will spend time in. The development of waveguides and transmission lines is brilliant and simply stated and it allows the engineer to see what the many applications may be. As EMT has somewhat fallen behind this text I believe will remain a valuable contribution to t. yousef said Best E&M Book I've read. One of the best E&M books I've ever read. Very clear derivations, concise, covers many useful topics.I usually rent book and rarely buy them, but I bought this one!Miles ahead of the intro E&M textbooks. You should have some background of complex exponentials before reading this, but you don't need to know to much about complex numbers.
