Synopsis

Presents the introductory theory and applications of Maxwell's equations to electromagnetic field problems. Unlike other texts, Maxwell's equations and the associated vector mathematics are developed early in the work, allowing readers to apply them at the outset. Its unified treatment of coordinate systems saves time in developing the rules for vector manipulations in ways other than the rectangular coordinate system. The following chapters cover static and quasi-static electric and magnetic fields, wave reflection and transmission at plane boundaries, the Poynting power theorem, rectangular waveguide mode theory, transmission lines, and an introduction to the properties of linear antennas and aperture antennas. Includes an expanded set of problems, many of which extend the material developed in the chapters.

About this title

Synopsis:

The present revision of this text retains the objectives of the first edition: to introduce Maxwell's equations early and to develop them into familiar, useful tools. This is accomplished in the first three chapters through graded exercises with applications to elementary static systems with simple symmetries in free space. Some changes and additions have been incorporated and in its present revised form the text is suitable for either a two-term electromagnetic fields and wave-transmission sequence or a more limited one-term treatment. The book has an ample number of worked-out examples, a few of them new, enabling the student to use this text as a self-study aid. In addition, an expanded set of problems, nearly all new, is included at the end of each chapter. The previous edition of this book was published in 1975.
