PLEASE NOTE: This item has been superceded by a new version: Electromagnetics Volume 1 (August 2018) which is freely available at: https://doi.org/10.21061/electromagnetics-vol-1 
Electromagnetics Volume 1 (BETA) (CC BY-SA 4.0) is a 224-page, peer-reviewed, open educational resource intended to serve as a primary textbook for a one-semester first course in undergraduate engineering electromagnetics, and includes: electric and magnetic fields; electromagnetic properties of materials; electromagnetic waves; and devices that operate according to associated electromagnetic principles including resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers, generators, and transmission lines. 
 This book employs the "transmission lines first" approach, in which transmission lines are introduced using a lumped-element equivalent circuit model for a differential length of transmission line, leading to one-dimensional wave equations for voltage and current. This is intended for electrical engineering students in the third year of a bachelor of science degree program. An electronic version of this book is freely available at: https://doi.org/10.7294/W4WQ01ZM This textbook is part of the Open Electromagnetics Project led by Steven W. Ellingson at Virginia Tech. The goal of the project is to create no-cost openly-licensed content for courses in undergraduate engineering electromagnetics. The project is motivated by two things: lowering learning material costs for students and giving faculty the freedom to adopt, modify, and improve their educational resources.

Electromagnetics: Volume 1

Using a systems framework, this textbook provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the performance, analysis and design of radio systems for students and practising engineers. Presented within a consistent framework, the first part of the book describes the fundamentals of the subject: propagation, noise, antennas and modulation. The analysis and design of radios, including RF circuit design and signal processing, is covered in the second half of the book. The former is presented with minimal involvement of Smith charts, enabling students to grasp the fundamentals more readily. Both traditional and software-defined/direct sampling technology are described, with pros and cons of each strategy explained. Numerous examples within the text involve realistic analysis and design activities, and emphasize how practical experiences may differ from theory or taught procedures. End-of-chapter problems are provided, as are a password-protected solutions manual and lecture slides to complete the teaching package for instructors.

Ellingson is a 216-page, peer-reviewed open educational resource (licensed CC BY-SA 4.0) intended as the primary textbook for the second semester of a two-semester undergraduate engineering electromagnetics sequence. The book addresses magnetic force and the Biot-Savart law; fields in complex and lossy media; AC current flow and skin depth; reflection and transmission at planar boundaries; fields in parallel plate, parallel wire, and microstrip transmission lines; optical fiber; and radiation from current distributions and antennas.This textbook is part of the Open Electromagnetics Project https://www.faculty.ece.vt.edu/swe/oem led by Steven W. Ellingson at Virginia Tech. The project goal is to create publicly available, no-cost, openly licensed content for courses in undergraduate engineering electromagnetics. The project is motivated by two things: lowering the cost of learning materials for students and giving faculty the freedom to adopt, modify, and improve their educational resources. For each book in the series, the following are freely available for all to use: openly licensed and accessible PDFs, problem sets and solutions, slides of figures, editable LaTeX source files, and information for the book’s collaborator portal and listserv.
