Methods in Electromagnetic Wave Propagation

by Douglas Samuel Jones

Now in its second edition, this popular text both develops a theoretical framework and provides mathematical and computational methods for understanding electromagnetic wave propagation. Topics include aspects of numerical analysis, waveguides and difference equations, operators and eigenvalues, variational methods and optimization, numerical aspects of variational methods, antennas and integral equations, transient phenomena, the geometric theory of diffraction, and source detection. Thoroughly updated to account for changes since the appearance of the first edition, this book will continue to be invaluable to both students and engineers interested in propagation and scattering of electromagnetic waves.
