Editorial Reviews

A revised intermediate-level text on electromagnetic fields and waves. This edition adds new applications and material from growing fields such as coherent optics for communications and information processing, superconductors, integrated circuit approaches to guides, resonators, and antennas, and the use of computers to solve field and wave problems. Problems graded for difficulty and length of time to solve, are included in each chapter. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
