High Frequency Electrodynamics

This first book to develop the laws of formation and propagation of electromagnetic waves from the concept of guided wave optics is all set to become a standard within the field of telecommunications. The author aptly combines classic and novel concepts, thus introducing the fundamental concepts of electromagnetic theory while prompting ways for its application in the investigation and design of modern telecommunication systems, such as antennas, waveguides, and power transmitting lines. From the contents: Maxwell Equations, Plane Waves, Closed Waveguides, Closed Resonators, Open Lines, Backgrounds of Antenna Theory, Diffraction on Metallic and Dielectric Objects, Complementary References.
