Electromagnetics Explained: A Handbook for Wireless/ RF, EMC, and High-Speed Electronics

Ron Schmitt

Newnes, May 13, 2002 - Computers - 359 pages

*Covers topics using conceptual explanations and over 150 lucid figures, in place of complex mathematics
*Demystifies antennas, waveguides, and transmission line phenomena
*Provides the foundation necessary to thoroughly understand signal integrity issues associated with high-speed digital design

Written for engineers by an engineer, Electromagnetics Explained will teach you everything you need to know about RF/high-speed design and electromagnetic fields. Learn hands-on, practical solutions to EMI/EMC that you can apply immediately to your projects and products. Incorporating practical viewpoints substituted for mathematical theory, this book is accessible to technologists and technicians in addition to engineers, demystifying topics often considered "black magic". Through straight-forward analogies and interesting examples ranging from lightning to electric guitars, the author provides an explanation of electromagnetic fields that is not only practical and informative, but also fascinating and exciting. Even readers with no background in electromagnetics will gain a deep and intuitive knowledge of the subject.

Based on familiar circuit theory and basic physics, this book serves as an invaluable reference for both analog and digital engineers alike. For those who work with analog RF, this book is a must-have resource. With computers and networking equipment of the 21st century running at such high frequencies, it is now crucial for digital designers to understand electromagnetic fields, radiation and transmission lines. This knowledge is necessary for maintaining signal integrity and achieving EMC compliance. Since many digital designers are lacking in analog design skills, let alone electromagnetics, an easy-to-read but informative book on electromagnetic topics should be considered a welcome addition to their professional libraries.
