Product Description This comprehensive two semester textbook, now in its 4th edition, continues to provide students with a thorough theoretical understanding of electromagnetic field relations while also providing numerous practical applications. The topics follow a tested pattern familiar to the previous edition, each with a brief, introductory chapter followed by a chapter with extensive treatment, 10 to 30 applications, examples and exercises, and problems and summaries. There is new emphasis on problems, examples and applications based on energy harvesting and renewable energy; additional information on sensing and actuation, new material on issues in energy, power, electronics, and measurements, and an emphasis on aspects of electromagnetics relevant to digital electronics and wireless communication. The author adds and revises problems to emphasize the use of tools such as Matlab; new advanced problems for higher level students; a discussion of symbolic and numerical integration; additional examples with each chapter; and new online material including experiments and review questions. The book is an undergraduate textbook at the upper division level, intended for required classes in electromagnetics. It is written in simple terms with all details of derivations included and all steps in solutions listed. It requires little beyond basic calculus and can be used for self-study. Features hundreds of examples and exercises, many new or revised for every topic in the book. Includes over 650 end-of-chapter problems, many of them new or revised, mostly based on applications or simplified applications. Includes a suite of online demonstration software including a computerized Smith Chart. Review “During the recent three decades, multiple antenna techniques have become increasingly important to wireless radio engineering, leading to their vast exploitation in 4G and 5G. This makes it a necessity to have a modern textbook which includes basic vector analysis applied to the relevant electrostatic and electrodynamic phenomena in an easy to capture way for electrical engineers. While working on modernized versions of my lectures, I discovered Dr. Ida’s textbook, an excellent text!” (Dr. Peter Jung, University of Duisburg-Essen, Chair for Communication Technologies (Kommunikationstechnik)) From the Back Cover This comprehensive two semester textbook, now in its 4th edition, continues to provide students with a thorough theoretical understanding of electromagnetic field relations while also providing numerous practical applications.
