Author Description
The aim of these two volumes is to develop a framework of theory and numerical analysis that can be applied to solving numerous problems associated with the propagation of electromagnetic waves. Volume I is devoted to the theoretical background and the topic of guided waves. It includes numerical techniques, with particular emphasis on variational methods, integral equations, and finite elements. Volume II concentrates on radiating waves, produced both by transmitters and by scattering from irradiated targets. The geometric theory of diffraction receives an extensive review and the final chapter investigates inverse scattering.
