商品簡介
This unique book brings together the fundamental aspects in antenna and wave propagation, microwave theory, relativistic and quantum electrodynamics in a single volume.
In this book, the author takes a fresh look at the essential concepts and methods of electrodynamics as a whole, uniting the most relevant contemporary topics under a common mathematical framework. The book contains clear explanations of high-level concepts as well as the mutual relationships between the essential ideas of electromagnetic theory. Starting with the fundamentals of electrodynamics, it methodically covers a wide spectrum of research and applications that stem from electromagnetic phenomena, before concluding with more advanced topics such as quantum electrodynamics.
Key Features:
-One of the first books on electromagnetics that contains both the special and general theory of relativity
-Includes advances and methodologies in applied electrodynamics, and provides the whole picture of the theory of electrodynamics in most active areas of engineering applications
-Systematically deals with eigenvalue problems, integral equation formulations and transient phenomena in various areas of applied electrodynamics
-Introduces the complete theory of spherical vector wave functions, and investigates the upper bounds of the product of gain and bandwidth for an arbitrary antenna
-Presents the field approach to multiple antenna system, providing a theoretical tool for the prediction of channel models of multi-input and multi-output system
Summarising both engineering and theoretical electromagnetism in one volume, this book is an essential reference for graduate students, research engineers, physicists, and applied mathematicians, as well as a guide for those who wish to advance their analytical techniques for studying applied electrodynamics.
