Electromagnetics Explained: A Handbook for Wireless/ RF, EMC, and High-Speed Electronics (EDN Series for Design Engineers) 1st Edition by Ron Schmitt Former Director of Electrical Engineering Sensor Research and Development Corp. Orono Maine (PDF)

Description

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.

From the Back Cover *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 designWritten 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.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐As an electronics and short range wireless engineer, I was looking for a book that helped bridge the gap between theory and real-world. This is one of the finest books that has been written to date meeting that objective. It is intuitive, easy to read, has plenty of real-world examples and is something you will reference over and over. The reader will come away with a much clearer picture of the world of electromagnetics, but more importantly, the book helps the reader develop an intuitive sense of how electromagnetics affects so many aspects of R&D. Have your highlighter handy – you will want to mark this book up as you read it.

⭐The author has succeeded in writing an easy to read book. I read through it in two days. But is it useful and worthy keeping? The author covers a lot of ground, even included a cursory introduction to special relativity and quantum electrodynamics which have no relevance to the rest of the book. It gives a relatively painless introduction to various concepts in electromagnetism. But the superficiality makes it a book for the popular audience rather than electrical engineers. The author does have the good sense to include a set of good references. So read the book once, and study the reference books. The book is not worthy keeping. I’ve sold mine.

⭐I’d characterize this book as qualitative rather than quantitative. It provides good verbal descriptions for a wide variety of concepts related to electromagnetics. For me, it tied together a lot of lose ends. This book works pretty well for someone who has a moderate grasp of the electromagnetic fundamentals and wants to go to the next level of understanding without becoming mired in equations — maybe a sort of heavy duty tutorial for students, recent graduates, and just-plain-curious technically oriented people. This is one of those must-read books, but I would not recommend it to someone without knowldge of college-level physics and differential calculus.

⭐I have found the one-sided reviews on Amazon of no value in selecting a book. Some are laughable. The fact that 100% of people found these reviews useful is even more amazing.EDN writes: “the elegant simplicity of Maxwell’s equations” – simple? really?A Customer writes: “If I was an emags professor, I would definitely make this required reading …”. At what university would this be? Another found the book “very useful … in solving some very real problems (e.g. in antenna design/analysis)” How? Please elaborate.Electronic engineers are unlikely to learn anything new from this book. It contains few design formulas, but is mostly an overview of some principles.

⭐This book isn’t a mathematical introduction but it excels at cultivating intuition. I have a background in physics so many of the concepts were not new to me, yet I learned dramatically more than I thought I would. I suspect anyone who is not already an experienced EM engineer could benefit from reading it. I wish I had this book when I was in college!

⭐I found the book to be quite good at explaining Electromagnetics.

⭐Good introduction and reference resource

⭐This book covers a broad swath of E&M in a way that is easily accessible to a practicing engineer (and I suspect many others). No, it won’t be a reference “bible” on your shelf, but it is the perfect introduction to the uninitiated and review for the experienced. This is the kind of book one wishes existed in every field.

⭐Often engineering books can be a little blinkered, this is not necessarily a bad thing but from time to time principles cross paths and it would be nice to step back and take a wider view. This book is very good in that it not only looks directly at the issues at hand but also looks at some of the fundamental principles behind the topic. You might not think that understanding the Coriolis force to be relevant to electromagnetism, but read on suddenly a bigger picture develops before your eyes.The book explores the macrocosm and it relevance to the main topic and is all the more interesting and useful for it. I recommend this to any student of electrodynamics as a very useful reference.

⭐The content was not quite what I hoped for but that is hardly the authors, or the sellers fault. The book was in good condition, delivered on time.Can’t complain, so I won’t

⭐A very interesting book. Difficult to put down!Many inter related topics. A lot of informationIn a single book.

⭐Great
