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.
