FEATURES/BENEFITS

• NEW―Two-part coverage: Fundamental Elements, and Applied Elements―Associates the chapters on Applied Elements with major technologies based on Maxwell's equations.
  • Serves the needs of twenty-first century electromagnetics.
• NEW―Material on Crosstalk on Transmission Lines; Pulse Broadening in Dispersive Medium; and Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method.
• NEW―Review problems―Follow homework problems in each chapter.
  • Serve as review of material covered in a chapter by integrating concepts introduced in more than one section of the chapter.
• Uniform plane waves―Presents topic immediately following Maxwell's equations chapters, which are introduced collectively, in integral form and then in differential form.
• Comprehensive coverage of field and line topics―Begins with p-n junction and circuit elements, progresses through transmission-line time-domain analysis, leading to interconnections between logic gates, and culminating in crosstalk on transmission lines.
• Coverage of principles of guided waves developed in one chapter―For both electronics and optoelectronics.
  • Confines the treatment to one-dimensional wave guides comprising parallel-plate metallic waveguides followed by dielectric slab waveguides.
• Devotes a full chapter to pertinent topics of electronics and photonics―Ch. 10 including two-dimensional metallic waveguides and optical fibers; interference and diffraction; and wave propagation in an anisotropic medium.
• Focus on numerical methods―Comprising the finite-difference method; method of moments; finite-element method; and finite-difference time-domain method.
• Dynamic field approach―Builds basic material upon time varying fields while retaining important topics of static fields.
• Sinusoidal steady-state analysis of transmission lines.
  • Familiarizes the reader with graphical and computer solutions.
• Radiation introduction followed by basic concepts of antennas.
  • Demonstrates for the reader the complete field solution to the Hertzian dipole field through the magnetic vector potential.
• Solid pedagogy―105 worked examples, 162 drill problems with answers, marginal notes, chapter summaries, and review questions.
• Practical application discussions and experiment demonstrations.
