A timely and authoritative update to a leading text on the applied electromagnetics of transmission lines
In the newly revised second edition of Applied Electromagnetics: Early Transmission Lines Approach, experienced engineer and professor Stuart Wentworth delivers an up-to-date and authoritative discussion of the electromagnetic foundations of signal transmission. The book explains practical applications for wireless systems, transmission lines, waveguides (including optical fiber), and antennas.
Wentworth provides a detailed theoretical grounding of the subject and combines it with hands-on MATLAB simulations available on the web that help students understand critical concepts.
- Brand-new end-of-chapter problems at a broad range of difficulty levels
- Many more drill and example problems
- Worked solutions provided on the companion website
- Extensively updated material as well as entirely new material on metamaterials and patch antennas
Perfect for undergraduate students of electrical engineering, Applied Electromagnetics: Early Transmission Lines Approach will also benefit researchers and educators in electrical engineering.
