Overview

Linking electromagnetic theory and its practical application, this study covers the field from basic theory to microwave networks and antennas. Each chapter provides an introduction, including worked examples, to cover the essential theory and develop formulae, and then gives numerous problems on practical aspects of the subject with solutions offered in the second part. Additional problems with answers are offered as student exercises.

Reviews

Very useful as a study book or reference text for electrical engineers or applied physicists. - Network 3; With over three hundred worked examples it is a book which will work well for undergraduate students, postgraduate students and teachers alike. The authors are well respected in this field and the depth of their knowledge and experience is a feature of the book. - International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education
