This important book serves as a transition between introductory courses in electromagnetism and realistic concepts employed in the microwave industry. Topics on lossy, multiply connected and ferrite networks are discussed in a simple and direct style to arouse the interest of the novice student, enhance the analytical skills of the practitioner, and invite the perusal of the advanced student to explore the novel concepts developed in the book. In particular, the discussions on ferrite networks are presented as an integral part of the author's theoretical methodology rather than a specialized presentation or an addendum to the book.Contents:Review of Maxwell EquationsCommon Waveguide StructuresTelegraph's EquationsAnalytical SolutionGraphical SolutionSpecial Topics in Transmission LinesElectromagnetic Scattering ParametersMatrix Representation of Microwave NetworksReadership: Novice and advanced students, and practitioners in electromagnetism.Key Features:Pedagogical exposition of introductory solid geometry and topology in the context of soft-condensed matter physicsThe only monograph on the author's original research works, in collaboration with his thesis advisor Randall D Kamien from University of PennsylvaniaInclusion of many introductory illustrations for basic concepts in solid geometry and topology, again, in the applied context of colloidal crystals and loop polymers
