GUIDED ELECTOMAGNETIC WAVES PROPERTIES AND ANALYSIS (Electronic & Electrical Engineering Research Studies. Computer Methods in eLectromagnetics Series, 3)

Reviews and discusses complex modes, including the theory of their formation, thereby enabling prediction of their occurrence. Shows how operator formalism can be used to investigate a large range of waveguides in a uniform fashion. *IN 1998, M.MROZOWSKI WAS AWARDED THE POLISH PRIME MINISTER'S PRIZE FOR OUTSTANDING SCIENTIFIC ACHIEVEMENT FOR THE BOOK Provides detailed coverage of how the tools and methods described can be applied to practical problems. The understanding of phenomena associated with the propagation of electromagnetic waves along uniform waveguides is essential for the design of devices and components used in all modern microwave and optical communication systems. This book provides a theoretical treatment of guided electromagnetic waves and investigates the characteristics of the full spectrum of propagating, evanescent and complex modes. The topics addressed concern the many classes of permittivity and permeability (isotropic, anisotropic, gyrotropic) and geometric symmetries of the waveguides themselves.
