DESCRIPTION:
Back Cover Field and Wave Electromagnetics, Second Edition features many examples of practical applications to give students an excellent physical -- as well as mathematical -- understanding of important concepts. New exercises, new problems, and many worked-out examples make this complex material more accessible to students.. These include applications drawn from important new areas of technology such as optical fibers, radome design, satellite communication, and microstrip lines. There is also added coverage o
A classical text but good foundations in Math needed. H.- K. Chai I had this book as my text book in Purdue University. Frankly speaking, most people will have no clue what it is talking after reading it for the first time because this book describes electromagnetism more from a mathematical point of view. From the start it just throws hypothesis, derivations and formulae to the reader and there are few examples, therefore readers without adequate and solid background in maths(especially in vector calculus) will be quickly confused by this book and lose the big picture. This book serves nicely as a reference but if you are not that familiar in this fie. Second will be better I. Chiang This is the textbook for my sophomore electromagnetics in the electrical engineering. I have to admit I really hated this class then. One is that there are equations here and there and it usually clouds the issue. Another reason is that the author uses the deduction method to describe this topic. It is quite different from the traditional way which goes following the historical developments.For some reasons, I need to refresh electromagnetics in later years. I re-studied this book and then found it written pretty well this time. It is well-organized and systematic. One weak spot is the e. An Elegant and Rigorous Discussion of EM (But Be Prepared to Put in the Work!) Electromagnetics is a tough topic. Countless books tackle it in many different ways. Some discuss the physical phenomena of EM, then provide equations that quantify the phenomena. Others take a theoretical approach where operative equations are derived as the necessary conclusions of fundamental axioms and prior results. Professor Cheng's book falls squarely in the latter category. While this approach requires the reader to invest substantial time and effort, Professor Cheng masterfully employs it in his classic book on electromagnetic fields and waves.Content-wise, the book covers all t
This approach results in an organized and systematic development of the subject matter. This book builds the electromagnetic model using an axiomatic approach in steps: first for static electric fields, then for static magnetic fields, and finally for time-varying fields leading to Maxwell's equations. New exercises, new problems, and many worked-out examples make this complex material more accessible to students.. There is also added coverage of several new topics, including Hall effect, radar equation and scattering cross section, transients in transmission lines, waveguides and circular cavity resonators, wave propagation in the ionosphere, and helical antennas.
