About the Book:

This Book is designed for a two-semester sequence in time-harmonic electromagnetics that is beyond an introduction to electromagnetostatics. Although the first part of the book is intended primarily for undergraduates and beginning graduates in electrical engineering and physics. The last part is intended for advanced graduate students and practicing engineers and scientists.

Contents:

1. Time-Varying and Time-Harmonic Electromagnetic Fields, 2. Electrical Properties of Matter, 3. Wave Equation and Its Solutions, 4. Wave Propagation and Polarization, 5. Reflection and Transmission, 6. Auxiliary Vector Potentials, Construction of Solutions, and Radiation and Scattering Equations, 7. Electromagnetic Theorems and Principles, 8. Rectangular Cross-Section Waveguides and Cavities, 9. Circular Cross-Section Waveguides and Cavities, 10.  Spherical Transmission Lines and Cavities, 11. Scattering, 12. Integral Equations and the Moment Method, 13. Geometrical Theory of Diffraction, 14. Green's Functions.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Constantine A.  Balanis was born in Trikala, Greece.  He received his B.S.E.E. degree from Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Blaksburg, in 1964, his M.E.E. degree from University of Virginia, Charlottesville, in1966, and his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Ohio State University, Columbus, in 1969.

           From 1964 to 1970 he was with the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, and from 1970 to 1983 he was with the Department of Electrical Engineering, West Virginia University, Morgan town. In 1983 he joined Arizona State University, Tempe, and he is now Regents’ Professor of Electrical Engineering, He teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in electromagnetic theory, antennas, and microwave circuits. His research interests are in low- and high-frequency numerical and computational techniques for antenna, and scattering problems, electromagnetic wave propagation in microwave-integrated circuits transmission lines, and reconstruction (inversion) methods. He received the Arizona State University Outstanding Graduate Mentor Award for 1996, the Graduate Teaching Excellence Award, school of Engineering, Arizona State University for 1987-1988, the 1989 JEEE Region 6 Individual Achievement Award, and the 1992 Special Professionalism Award of the JEEE Phoenix Section.
