Taking a somewhat traditional viewpoint, this book begins with a review of stationary fields. Then, in a novel departure from many texts on EM theory, the author develops many of the essential ideas in wave propagation by treating purely scalar problems in one, two, and three dimensions. The loss in generality is later recovered when some of the same problems are addressed when vector solutions of Maxwell's equations are required. Not only is the impedance concept expounded, but transmission- line theory is used consistently to formulate boundary value problems even for fairly complicated geometries. Also, many of the wave theory results are interpreted by equivalent transmission line circuits. Exercises are included and references to the literature are listed at the end of each chapter. SI units are used throughout.

Electromagnetic wave theory

Harper&Row

Long recognized as a classic in the field, this book offers comprehensive coverage of radio waves in stratified media. Well-known authority James R. Wait guides you through a broad range of physical problems using a wealth of experimental data that is particularly relevant to current studies of radiowave transmission in both terrestrial and extraterrestrial environments. Electromagnetic Waves in Stratified Media features a clear explanation of the Mode Theory of wave propagation, complete with supporting physical examples; a concise analysis of modes, rays, and their equivalencies; thorough coverage of asymptotic (high-frequency) developments; applications to telecommunications for frequencies from ELF to SHF (10 Hz to Gig Hz); and much more. It is a must-have book for every engineer in the field.
