First published in 1961, this text for a graduate course on electromagnetic theory offers in-depth treatment of the subject. Material is organized according to similarity of mathematical techniques instead of according to devices, in order to present mathematical techniques for handling electromagnetic engineering problems. Chapters cover fundamental concepts, waves, plane, cylindrical, and spherical wave functions, perturbational and variational techniques, and microwave networks. The text includes chapter exercises and answers. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Time-Harmonic Electromagnetic Fields
A Classic Reissue in the IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory
Donald G. Dudley, Series Editor
"When I begin a new research project, I clear my desk and put away all texts and reference books. Invariably, Harrington's book is the first book to find its way back to my desk. My copy is so worn that it is falling apart."--Dr. Kendall F. Casey, SRI
"In the opinion of our faculty, there is no other book available that serves as well as Professor Harrington's does as an introduction to advanced electromagnetic theory and to classic solution methods in electromagnetics."--Professor Chalmers M. Butler, Clemson University
First published in 1961, Roger Harrington's Time-Harmonic Electromagnetic Fields is one of the most significant works in electromagnetic theory and applications. Over the past forty years, it proved to be a key resource for students, professors, researchers, and engineers who require a comprehensive, in-depth treatment of the subject. Now, IEEE is reissuing the classic in response to requests from our many members, who found it an invaluable textbook and an enduring reference for practicing engineers.
About the IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory
