Textbook of Electromagnetic Fields and Waves

Description

Having a vast range of practical everyday applications that includes such diverse uses as communication by cell phone and radio broadcasting, WiFi cooking, vision, medical imaging, and treating cancer, the electromagnetic waves has its distinct significance. It was first postulated by James Clerk Maxwell and subsequently confirmed by Heinrich Hertz. Electromagnetic waves are created as a result of vibrations between an electric and a magnetic field. In this book “Textbook of Electromagnetic Fields and Waves” we will explore all the relevant aspects of electromagnetic field with illustrations. The covered topics include the fundamental physics of electromagnetic waves, theory of electromagnetic wave propagation and scattering, methods of computational analysis, material characterization, electromagnetic properties of plasma, analysis and applications of periodic structures and waveguide components, and finally, the biological effects and medical applications of electromagnetic fields.
