Electromagnetic Waves (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Presenting a unified view of a broad range of topics, Electromagnetic Waves provides a strong, rigorous intellectual link between basic physics of electromagnetic phenomena and modern information and communication technology. This second edition features a variety of new definitions, including beat length in a birefringent medium, correlation length of random birefringence in a fiber, and effective height of an antenna. With updated appendix and reference lists, it also provides homework problems and examples in each chapter to assist students. This well-received text remains essential for those working with microwaves, electromagnetics, lasers and optics, photonics, and related areas.

Autorenporträt

Carlo G. Someda (retired) received the E.E., M.S.E.E. and Libera Docenza (Ph.D.) degrees, respectively from the University of Padova, Italy, in 1964, Stanford University, in 1966, and the Italian Ministry of Education, in 1971. While at Stanford he was a recipient of the Volta Fellowship of the IEEE. In 1972 he worked as a post-doc at Bell Telephone Laboratories, Holmdel, N.J., within a NATO scientific exchange program. He has also been a Visiting Scholar at the University of Arizona and Stanford University. Most of his research activity was done in Italy, at the Universities of Trieste, Bologna (where he became a Full Professor in 1976, and Head of the Electronics Department in 1978-81), and Padova, where he joined the Faculty of Engineering in 1982, and in 1999 he became the Director of an intensively industry-supported interdisciplinary Master program in Information and Communication Technology and Economics. His main field of technical interest since 1972 was optical communications and photonics; he also became involved in antennas and metamaterials. He has authored or co-authored about 175 research papers, and 5 textbooks, in Italian and English. Dr. Someda is on the Editorial Board of the series Optical and Fiber Communications Reports, Springer, New York. He is on the European Management Committee of the European Conference on Optical Communications, and was General Co-chair of ECOC03. He is a Distinguished Member of the Italian Electrical and Electronic Association, Vice-Chairman of Accademia Galileiana di Scienze Lettere ed Arti (a four-century old cultural institution founded by Galileo Galilei in Padova, Italy), a Member of the Istituto Veneto di Scienze Lettere ed Arti, Venice, Italy (a two-century old cultural institution founded by Napoleon Bonaparte - http://www.istitutoveneto.it/), and a Senior Member of IEEE, New York.
