The field of electromagnetic wave propagation has its origins in the work of James Clerk Maxwell, and the common forms used for his equations are due to Oliver Heaviside. The four basic Maxwell’s equations, together with the continuity equation, are the foundation of many studies in electrical engineering and physics. His equations are the underlying basis of amazing advances in the field of optics, cosmology, antennas, electromagnetic
wave propagation, quantum electrodynamics, microwaves, etc.
This book is written for graduate students and for researchers in this field. It is suitable for a graduate course in electromagnetic wave propagation for students with a good background in undergraduate electromagnetics and mathematics. Graduate students, as well as researchers, usually have some difficulty following some of the published material in professional journals. This book closes such gaps by providing a comprehensive view of some of the advanced techniques used in electromagnetic wave propagation.
