Wiley Introduction to Electromagnetic and Microwave Engineering: 53 (Wiley Series in Microwave and Optical Engineering)

Filled with illustrations, examples and approximately 300 homework problems, this accessible and informative text provides an extensive treatment of electromagnetism and microwave engineering with particular emphasis on microwave and telecommunications applications. Also stresses computational electromagnetics through the use of MathCad and finite element methods to elucidate design problems, analysis and applications. Tutorials on the use of MathCad and PSpice are included. An accessible textbook for students and valuable reference for engineers already in the field. From the Inside Flap An authoritative presentation of electromagnetic and microwave engineering Introduction to Electromagnetic and Microwave Engineering is a comprehensive text/reference suitable for all electrical engineering students. The text functions as both a complete two-semester course and a useful update for practicing engineers. It begins with a presentation of the foundations of electromagnetic theory appropriate for sophomore- and junior-level students, emphasizing vector mathematics, Maxwell's equations, and statics. From there, the book moves on to introduce microwave engineering and its applications, including magnetostatics, transmission lines, reflection and transmission at plane boundaries, and two- and three-dimensional waveguides --topics seldom treated in senior-level texts and particularly relevant to communications, radar, and warfare systems. Based on undergraduate and graduate courses at the City College of New York, this clear and detailed textbook: * Provides a comprehensive grounding in electromagnetic theory and microwave engineering * Uses MathCad and finite-element methods to present computational electromagnetics * Contains tutorials on MathCad and PSpice in the appendix to aid instructors * Presents illustrative examples, discusses design problems, and emphasizes the use of simulation software throughout the text * Includes 300 homework assignments to elucidate the material covered From the Back Cover An authoritative presentation of electromagnetic and microwave engineering Introduction to Electromagnetic and Microwave Engineering is a comprehensive text/reference suitable for all electrical engineering students.
