Analytical Modeling in Applied Electromagnetics (Artech House Electromagnetic Analysis Series)

Text provides an introduction to the use of analytical models in the design of antennas and microwave devices. Demonstrates how analytical models offer an understanding of electromagnetic phenomena in new materials and structures. Equips practitioners with the ideas and design tools for developing new applications.

Analytical Modeling in Applied Electromagnets encompasses the most complete treatment on the subject published to date, focusing on the nature of models in radio engineering. This leading-edge resource brings you detailed coverage of the latest topics, including metamaterials, photonic bandgaps and artificial impedance surfaces, and applies these concepts to a wide range of applications. The book provides you with working examples that are mainly directed to antenna applications, but the modeling methods and results can be used for other practical devices as well.

Book is about understanding and analytical modeling of material layers, composites, artificial materials, and metamaterials. It explains electromagnetic properties of new artificial electromagnetic surfaces and metamaterials, especially size-dependent phenomena in materials; materials with predefined, engineered, and electrically controllable properties; backward-wave, double negative, or "left-handed" materials; and novel prospective devices such as the perfect lenses.--Preface The role of analytical modeling in radio engineering is twofold.
