A multifaceted approach to understanding, calculating, and
managing electromagnetic discontinuities
Presenting new, innovative approaches alongside basic results,
this text helps readers better understand, calculate, and manage
the discontinuities that occur within the electromagnetic field.
Among the electromagnetic discontinuities explored in this volume
are:
* Bounded jump discontinuities at the interfaces between two media
or on the material sheets that model very thin layers
* Unbounded values at the edges of wedge-type structures
* Unbounded values at the tips of conical structures
The text examines all the key issues related to the bodies that
carry the interfaces, edges, or tips, whether these bodies are at
rest or in motion with respect to an observer. In addition to its
clear explanations, the text offers plenty of step-by-step examples
to clarify complex theory and calculations. Moreover, readers are
encouraged to fine-tune their skills and knowledge by solving the
text's problem sets.
Three fundamental, classical theories serve as the foundation
for this text: distributions, confluence, and the special theory of
relativity. The text sets forth the fundamentals of all three of
these theories for readers who are not fully familiar with them.
Moreover, the author demonstrates how to solve electromagnetic
discontinuity problems by seamlessly combining all three theories
into a single approach.
With this text as their guide, readers can apply a unique
philosophy and approach to the investigation and development of
structures that have the potential to enhance the capabilities of
electronics, antennas, microwaves, acoustics, medicine, and many
more application areas.
