Radiation and Scattering of Waves (IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory) by Leopold B. Felsen (PDF)

Description

As relevant today as it was when it was first published 20 years ago, this book is a classic in the field. Nowhere else can you find more complete coverage of radiation and scattering of waves. The chapter: Asympotic Evaluation of Integrals is considered the definitive source for asympotic techniques. This book is essential reading for engineers, physicists and others involved in the fields of electromagnetics and acoustics. It is also an indispensable reference for advanced engineering courses.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: From the Back Cover This world-renowned classic by Professors Felsen and Marcuvitz continues to abound in timely and useful materialover 20 years after it was originally published. The book contains indispensable information that remains difficult to find anywhere else in the electromagnetics and acoustics literature, and it will be useful for many years to come. Of particular interest is Chapter 4, Asymptotic Evaluation of Integrals, which is appreciated and cited worldwide. It contains an in-depth description of asymptotic techniques and formulas useful to both engineers and physicists. Key features include unified treatment of radiation, diffraction, and scattering problems in electromagnetics, acoustics, and plasma-like media; comprehensive coverage of physical interpretations for wave processes; indispensable information on alternative representations and asymptotics – not found anywhere else; and invaluable coverage of transients particularly applicable to advances in high-speed electronics and extra-wideband radar. This book will be of interest to students, engineers, and physicists involved in electromagnetics and acoustics. Makes an important reference for graduate classes. About the Author Leopold B. Felsen was a physicist known for studies of Electromagnetism and wave-based disciplines. He had to flee Germany at 16 due to the Nazis. He has fundamental contributions to electromagnetic field analysis. Nathan Marcuvitz, was an American electrical engineer, physicist, and educator who worked in the fields of microwave and electromagnetic theory. He was head of the experimental group of the Radiation Laboratory. He was a member of the National Academy of Engineering.

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

⭐This is a unique book extremely well written and organized, where each sentence is well calibrated. It is for expert people, already with a good background in electromagnetism. I have been using it for many years and I found it very useful. It is considered a must have in asymptotics. The part on Green’s functions, applicable to various geometries, including multilayer environment, is well done, clear and comprehensive, though, again, not for beginners. This is also a book (one of the best ones) that explains how transmission line theory is related to guided waves. The notation is general, so that these concepts can be applied to various problems, under the same formalism, but it is a book that requires some previous knowledge. I do not suggest this for a class textbook, though it can be used for advanced graduate classes.As a last note, the cheap Wiley binding (pages just glued together) makes the new version unpleasant. Imagine you pay money to buy a book and after some times it cracks. I have had my old version, with good binding, for 15 years.

⭐This book is a classic and contains much information that is hard to find anywhere else. It develops very powerful methods of analysis of electromagnetic problems. However, the book is terse and can be hard to follow unless you are already familiar with modal analysis.

⭐This book is recognized as a classical worldwide. Indeed, it is the most comprehensive book on wave propagation, diffraction, and scattering to be found nowadays over 20 years after it was written. No wander it is referred to as “the bible” of electromagnetics. It is a must for any one in the business of electromagnetics, analytical or numerical and it is the only book I own that is frequently used both for research and as a graduate course textbook.
