PREFACE This text is written for a first semester junior level course in electromagnetics.The first chapter covers the basics of vector analysis,including the divergence,curl,and gradient operations.There are those who believe that the study of electromagnetics should begin with the static case (Chapter 2)allowing the student to gradually digest the material,whereas others (not including the author)believe that it is desirable to begin with the dynamic case (Chapter 3).Since all of the essentials of vector analysis are included in Chapter 1,this textbook allows the instructor to skip Chapter 2(with the possible exception of Section 2.15)if desired.This approach allows more material to be covered toward the end of the texthook. Chapter 2 includes electrostatics and magnetostatics.Although it certainly could be divided into two chapters,it was decided that,if combined,the topics could be covered in a shorter period of time.Something has to be reduced,in a one semester course,and this material is an obvious candidate.As indicated in the preceding paragraph,Chapter 3 begins with the dynamic case(Maxwell's general equations).The treatment here is a standard one,and there are few topics that can omitted. The material in Chapter 4 is important for several reasons.First,uniform plane waves represent a relatively simple application of Maxwell's equations from the preceding chapter.Second,the reflection of plane waves from surfaces,such as the earth,is an important consideration on its own.The behavior of uniform plane aves isvery similar to that of the fieds (Chapter 5) &aeesieonwnaicohoemae rectangular waveguide and the dielectric slab waveguide that appear in Chapter 6. The reader who is familiar with Basic Electromagnetic Fields,my textbook that is designed for a two-quarter course,will recognize much of the material from that textbook in Chapters 4,5,and 6 of this textbook. Chapter 5 is a rather typical treatment of transmission lines.It begins with the lossless case so that the general case (beginning with Section 5.14)can be omitted if desired,or if time requires that some material be skipped.The same general things can be said for Chapter 6 with regard to waveguides,and Section 6.8 dealing with losses,can be omitted Radiation is ordinarily the last topic covered in material of this type.Since it is expected(based on past experience)that this material cannot be covered because of
v PREFACE time limitations in a one semester course,it was decided that a full chapter would not be devoted to it.Instead,Appendix D is devoted to the basics of radiation includinga brief treatment of the ipole and.ftme allows,this material can be utilized. A first semester course in electromagnetics (for which this textbook would be appropriate)ofen appears with a course in basic linear system analysis where the unit-impulse function would normally first appear.In this circumstance the student would not be familiar with the use of this function,and, for this reason,it does not appear in this textbook.This is in contrast to Basic Electromagnetic Fields,where the unit-impulse function is used in several places to verify fundamental relations or to equate superposition and convolution integrals. It is obvious from the preceding considerations that this text could be used in a two-quarter scheme with very little material omitted.It is believed that Basic Electromagneric Fields would be more suitable for a two-semester or three quarter scheme.A suggested timetable for a one-semester course is outlined below (assuming a 15-week semester). Chapter 1 2 weeks Chapter 2 4 weeks Chapter 3 2 weeks Chapter 4 2 weeks Chapter 5 3 weeks Chapter 6 2 weeks Vector relations are conveniently summarized on the inside front and back covers for convenience.The symbols and units (MKSA)are the same as those listed following this preface.Answers to selected problems are listed following the appendixes.Problems at the end of the chapters that are somewhat more difficult are marked with an asterisk I express my sincere thanks to those reviewers and others whose suggestions have contributed to this textbook.In particular,I thank Professors Leonard Taylor, Matthew Sadiku,Randy Jost,and Kondagunta Sivaprasad.The typing of the original manuscript for this textbook was done by Roberta Campbell,and she is due much praise for her fine work.
