{"product_id":"scattering-of-electromagnetic-waves-by-obstacles-9781613532218","title":"Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves by Obstacles","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is an introduction to some of the most important properties of electromagnetic waves and their interaction with passive materials and scatterers. The main purpose of the book is to give a theoretical treatment of these scattering phenomena, and to illustrate numerical computations of some canonical scattering problems for different geometries and materials. The scattering theory is also important in the theory of passive antennas, and this book gives several examples on this topic.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTopics covered include an introduction to the basic equations used in scattering; the Green functions and dyadics; integral representation of fields; introductory scattering theory; scattering in the time domain; approximations and applications; spherical vector waves; scattering by spherical objects; the null-field approach; and propagation in stratified media.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is organised along two tracks, which can be studied separately or together. Track 1 material is appropriate for a first reading of the textbook, while Track 2 contains more advanced material suited for the second reading and for reference. Exercises are included for each chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKristensson, Gerhard:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eGerhard Kristensson is Professor Emeritus at Lund University, Sweden, where he held the Chair of Electromagnetic Theory for 25 years.
