Numerous new advances have been made in electromagnetic theory in recent years.
This is due, in part, to new applications of the theory to many practical problems. For
example, in microwave and millimeter wave applications, there is an increasing need
to investigate the electromagnetic problems of new guiding structures, phased
arrays, microwave imaging, polarimetric radars, microwave hazards,
frequency-sensitive surfaces, composite materials, and microwave remote sensing. In the field of
optics, applications involving fiber optics, integrated optics, atmospheric optics, light
diffusion in tissues, and optical oceanography are among many problems whose
solutions require the use of electromagnetic theory as an essential element. The
mathematical techniques used in electromagnetic theory are also equally applicable
to ocean acoustics, acoustic scattering in the atmosphere, and ultrasound imaging of
tissues. In this book we attempt to present a cohesive account of these advances with
sufficient background material.
This book has three overall objectives. First, we present the fundamental
concepts and formulations in Numerous new advances have been made in electromagnetic theory in recent years.
