Paperback. Many engineering students can recite Maxwell's equations, yet still cannot explain why a transmission line reflects a pulse back toward its source, why a hollow metal tube has a cutoff frequency below which no signal will pass, or how a current distribution on a piece of wire produces the far-field pattern of an antenna. This gap between formula and reasoning is common, and it is what this book is built to close. Organized as one continuous development, the book begins with the vector calculus and coordinate-system tools that every later chapter depends on, then builds electrostatics, magnetostatics, and material behavior from stated assumptions through complete derivations and fully worked examples. It derives Maxwell's equations for time-varying fields and shows, step by step, how those equations lead to the electromagnetic wave equation, then carries that foundation through wave propagation, polarization, and behavior in lossy and dispersive media, reflection and transmission at boundaries, transmission-line theory and impedance matching, waveguide and cavity-resonator theory, antenna radiation and arrays, electromagnetic compatibility, and the numerical methods used in modern electromagnetic simulation. Readers will work through: A complete vector-calculus and coordinate-system foundation before it is put to use.Electrostatics and magnetostatics derived from stated assumptions through to worked, fully solved examples with verified answers.The passage from Maxwell's equations to plane-wave propagation, polarization, and behavior in lossy and dispersive media.Reflection and transmission at normal and oblique incidence, and impedance matching with quarter-wave transformers.Transmission-line modeling with the telegrapher's equations, Smith-chart and stub matching techniques, and transient pulse behavior relevant to digital signal integrity.Waveguide mode structure, cutoff frequency, and cavity resonance connected directly to microwave-component design.Antenna radiation pattern, directivity, gain, array factor, and electromagnetic-compatibility fundamentals including shielding, grounding, and filtering.An introduction to the finite-difference time-domain, method-of-moments, and finite-element approaches used in electromagnetic simulation software.Every chapter pairs its derivations with worked examples carrying verified, boxed answers, addresses common misconceptions, and closes with an applied-context section connecting the theory to real engineering systems, so the reasoning is never left disconnected from practice. This book is written for upper-level undergraduate engineering students, graduate students beginning coursework in fields and waves, and practicing engineers who need a rigorous, derivation-complete reference covering foundational theory through applied antenna, transmission-line, and computational topics. Begin building a clearer, derivation-level understanding of electromagnetic theory with a single reference designed to carry you from first principles through to applied engineering practice. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
