Description

 

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.

 

Including concise explanations of all required mathematical concepts needed to fully comprehend the material, the book is your complete resource for mastering electromagnetics in current, emerging and future broadband communication systems, as well as high-speed analogue and digital electronic circuits and systems. From electromagnetic wave propagation, electromagnetic interference, and transmission lines and waveguides, to linear multiports, microwave circuits and antennas, you get expert guidance in a wide range of key areas to help you solve design problems in communications engineering. Supported with over 300 illustrations and more than 900 equations, there is no other book currently available that explains electromagnetics in such an easy-to-understand manner.
