Foundations of Applied Electrodynamics (Repost)

Foundations of Applied Electrodynamics takes a fresh look at the essential concepts and methods of electrodynamics as a whole, uniting the most relevant contemporary topics under a common mathematical framework. It contains clear explanations of high-level concepts as well as the mutual relationships between the essential ideas of electromagnetic theory. Starting with the fundamentals of electrodynamics, it methodically covers a wide spectrum of research and applications that stem from electromagnetic phenomena, before concluding with more advanced topics such as quantum mechanics. Includes new advances and methodologies in applied electrodynamics, and provides the whole picture of the theory of electrodynamics in most active areas of engineering applications Systematically deals with eigenvalue problems, integral equation formulations and transient phenomena in various areas of applied electrodynamics Introduces the complete theory of spherical vector wave functions, and presents the upper bounds of the product of gain and bandwidth for an arbitrary antenna Presents the field approach to multiple antenna system, which provides a theoretical tool for the prediction of channel models of MIMO, and is also the basis of wireless power transmission system One of the first books on electromagnetics that contains the general theory of relativity, which is needed in the design of mobile systems such as global positioning system (GPS) By summarising both engineering and theoretical electromagnetism in one volume, this book is an essential reference for practicing engineers, as well as a guide for those who wish to advance their analytical techniques for studying applied electrodynamics.Content: Chapter 1 Maxwell Equations (pages 1–48): Chapter 2 Solutions of Maxwell Equations (pages 49–104): Chapter 3 Eigenvalue Problems (pages 105–152): Chapter 4 Antenna Theory (pages 153–201): Chapter 5 Integral Equation Formulations (pages 203–243): Chapter 6 Network Formulations (pages 245–285): Chapter 7 Fields in Inhomogeneous Media (pages 287–327): Chapter 8 Time?Domain Theory (pages 329–377): Chapter 9 Relativity (pages 379–427): Chapter 10 Quantization of Electromagnetic Fields (pages 429–467):
