High-Frequency Electromagnetic Techniques : Recent Advances and Applications

High Frequency Electromagnetic Techniques Electromagnetic engineers often deal with problems in which the surfaces of the geometrics being studied do not conform to the eleven coordinate systems in which wave equations are separable. In such cases, when exact solutions of wave equations don’t apply, approximate methods must suffice. Among these is the class of highfrequency analytical techniques covered in this book—methods which lately have proven themselves to be indispensable to the design and analysis of radar systems, antennas, the interpretation of results in remote sensing, and the assessment of electromagnetic compatibility and electromagnetic interference in computer circuits. The most comprehensive guide to the subject currently available, High Frequency Electromagnetic Techniques provides an in depth look at the latest methods for highfrequency analysis. Designed to help professionals find fast, accurate solutions to their design and analysis problems, this valuable working resource features many case studies and realistic examples which vividly demonstrate exactly how high frequency techniques can be applied to such areas as:Analysis of near and far field patterns of horns and corrugated conical horns and their designAnalysis and design of various reflector systemsSlot antennas and their high frequency formulations and designAntennas on finite bodies and on aircraftThe estimation of mutual coupling between antennas on structuresEMC and EMI problems with aircraft antennas and antennas on structuresTerrain propagation modeling and the prediction of the effects of terrain geometry and properties on EM wave propagationGround, sea, and atmospheric clutter modeling and the choice of radar parameters to obtain clutter reduction in many situationsReaders will also appreciate the fact that the author has devoted an entire chapter to detailed descriptions of all computer codes currently used to perform highfrequency calculations, including critical evaluations of their relative merits and limitations in a variety of applications, whenever possible. While it can serve as an excellent graduate level text for courses in electromagnetics, High Frequency Electromagnetic Techniques is, above all, an indispensable working resource for researchers and designers in the telecommunications, defense, and computer industries. It also has an extensive list of references and additional references which would be helpful to readers for further study.
