Engineering Electromagnetics Liang Chi Shen, University of Houston, Jin Au Kong, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Amalendu Patnaik, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee Overview: This textbook covers the fundamental concepts of static and dynamic electromagnetic fields and waves. It is designed to serve as a textbook for the course on ‘Electromagnetic Theory’ taught to electrical, electronics and communication students in all engineering institutions in India. Its comprehensive approach to the subject and simple presentation will help students to grasp complex topics with ease. To make this book easily comprehensible and student friendly, the authors have organized the topics in a logical progression. This will allow students to first work with electromagnetic concepts involving relatively simple computational analysis and then move on to more complex topics and mathematical methods for analysis. In keeping with this student-friendly approach, the book begins with an introduction to complex vectors and Maxwell’s equations and then moves on to discuss advanced topics such as uniform plane waves, waveguides and resonators, transmission lines, antennas, Rayleigh scattering, holography, Doppler’s effect, electrostatic and magnetostatic fields, direct currents, solution techniques of Poisson and Laplace equations, and electroquasistatic and magnetoquasistatic fields. Each of these topics has been adequately covered in accordance with its relevance to the subject, making it a complete textbook for students.

Electromagnetic Field Theory R S Kshetrimayum Interview with Rakesh Singh Kshetrimayum Overview : ISBN : 9788131516584 Pages: 402 Electromagnetic Field Theory aims to give a solid foundation on electromagnetic fields, waves, and radiating systems. It is targeted as a textbook for electromagnetic field theory course for undergraduate electronics engineering students. Besides strong fundamentals on Maxwell’s equations, this book provides in-depth discussion about the basics of electromagnetic waves (wireless communication channel modeling requires this knowledge), transmission lines (microwave engineering course requires a background of this topic), and antennas (antenna is a component of any communication system; any communication cannot happen without this). 1. What is the target market for this book? This book can be used as a textbook for electromagnetic field theory course for senior undergraduate or first year graduate students. It may be used as a reference for anyone (physicist or engineer) who wants to explore electromagnetic theory. 2. Why did you write this book? Electromagnetic field theory is considered to be one of the toughest subjects by many students. The aim of this book is to make it easier for them by employing many pedagogical methods. Price 3. ` 325/Detailed mathematical derivations of l Key Features Do you see any change in the way the course has to be taught? A proper revision on the vector analysis is a must before getting into electromagnetic field theory. Next, a sound understanding of all four Maxwell’s equations should be developed. After that only, one should explore electromagnetic waves, radiation, numerical electromagnetics, etc., in depth. many of the important concepts in EMFT with all steps clearly explained. Easier l revision of each of the chapters using the chapter in a nutshell technique: one/two diagrams to represent all the important formulas in the chapter. 4. Excellent pedagogy includes more than 50 solved examples, 200 review questions, and 100 exercise problems. l To students: Computational l 1. After studying every section or topic, see if you can answer all the review questions pertaining to that section or topic, otherwise reread the topic or section. Method of l 2. First figure in a chapter usually depicts what topics you are going to learn in that chapter and how they are interlinked. Last figure in the chapter (before the exercise) is usually chapter in a nutshell (one single diagram with all the topics and corresponding important equations). You may use this diagram for easier revision purposes (all these chapters in a nutshell figures are listed in Appendix B again). 3. You should try to solve examples inside the text by yourself without looking at the solutions. See the solutions only if you can’t solve them. You should try to solve exercise problems. If you can’t solve them, ask your instructor for solutions. Multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter are meant for testing your understanding on the chapter. Check if you can answer all of them correctly. electromagnetics has been considered as an integral part of EMFT and has been discussed in some depth (representative MATLAB programs provided). moments has been treated as a separate chapter, and finite-difference time-domain method has been discussed in an Appendix. Brief l introduction to advanced topics at the appropriate places with some important and exclusive coverage of topics such as Smith charts, antennas, and method of moments. Table of Contents Give three suggestions to the students and the instructors. To faculty: 1. Introduction 8. Antennas and Radiating Systems 2. Electrostatic Fields 9. Waveguide, Cavity, and Microstrip Antennas 3. Magnetostatic Fields 10. Method of Moments 4. Electrodynamic Fields Appendixes 5. Plane Electromagnetic Waves A. Finite-Difference Time-Domain 6. Plane Waves Reflection from Media Interface B. Electromagnetic Field Theory in a Nutshell 7. Transmission Line Analysis www.cengage.co.in View publication stats 1. All important equations should be derived in the class without skipping any of the steps involved and explain clearly the physical interpretations after the derivations. This way, students feel that they know more about those equations. 2. In order to enhance interest in very abstract course such as electromagnetic field theory, an instructor should discuss in brief about the various applications of the theory they learn in the class. At appropriate places, students should be encouraged to do some simulations of fields, waves, and radiation. Some MATLAB based examples are provided in the book, instructor may add more of them if he/she feels it is necessary. 3. Senior undergraduate or first year graduate students usually have some exposure to electromagnetic fields, so, depending on the background of the students in the class, an instructor may compress the portion up to Maxwell’s equations and spend more time on topics such as electromagnetic waves, antennas, waveguides, etc., which are completely new for the students.
