Fundamentals of Electromagnetics with Engineering Applications

By Robert L. Devaney, Jonathan Choate, Robert Devaney

The revolution in wireless communications calls for a new focus in the electrical engineering curriculum. Stuart M. Wentworth fills that need with his new Fundamentals of Electromagnetics with Engineering Applications. Incorporating the popular MATLAB program throughout, it features practical applications for wireless systems, transmission lines, waveguides (including optical fiber), antennas, and microwave systems. Designed for use in a one- or two-semester sequence at the junior and senior level, it offers students both detailed theoretical grounding and hands-on experience in harmony with today's professional practice. Part 1 of the text features a classical organization of electromagnetic fundamentals, beginning with electrostatics and basic vectors. Once the students understand simple vectors, coordinate systems and electrostatic fields, they are ready to use more complicated vector algebra as they learn about magnetostatics. Then, time variation is introduced as students learn about dynamic fields and plane waves. Electromagnetic applications are covered in the second part of the text, with emphasis on those applications related to wireless communications. Part 2 covers transmission lines, waveguide (including optical fiber), antennas, electromagnetic interference, and a brief treatment of microwave engineering.

Success in Electromagnetics

I strongly recommend this book to all electromagnetic students and lecturers. The two main reasons are: 1) is a well written book and, 2) the note added by the author to the students on the "success in learning electromagnetics" (Preface, page X) points out correctly the "way or path" to achieve the goal on this subject.

Good intro book

Its really good book, it touches the most important issues about electromagnetic with out getting into much details. The other useful feature of this book is that there are some dedicated chapters about transmission lines, wave guides, antennas and brief microwave engineering. Great book, I havent found any that explains this hard subject in a very down to earth langauge that makes it easy to understand... This books also,...
