Features: Since its publication in 1999, "Electromagnetic Fields and Waves" (3rd Edition) has been well-received by readers. Both teachers and students generally consider it an excellent textbook suitable for teaching. The 4th Edition has been included in the Higher Education 100 Excellent Course Materials Construction Program. With the development of electronic communication technology, the teaching needs of electromagnetic fields and waves have evolved accordingly. In response, the authors have made significant adjustments to the teaching content and structural framework when writing the "Electromagnetic Fields and Waves" (4th Edition), primarily reflected in the following aspects: (1) Summarizing and deriving Maxwell's equations based on three major experimental laws and two fundamental hypotheses, then discussing static fields, time-varying fields, and the propagation and radiation characteristics of electromagnetic waves. This approach ensures a natural connection with physical electromagnetics while avoiding simple repetition. (2) Reducing the content of static fields and strengthening the coverage of electromagnetic waves to meet the needs of electronic information-related majors. (3) Selecting and diversifying examples and exercises. Each chapter ends with reflective questions and comprehensive application problems to cultivate students' ability to analyze and solve electromagnetic field problems.
This book is divided into 8 chapters, with specific content including: Vector Analysis, Basic Laws of Electromagnetic Fields, Static Electromagnetic Fields and Solutions to Boundary Value Problems, Time-Varying Electromagnetic Fields, Propagation of Uniform Plane Waves in Boundless Space, Reflection and Transmission of Uniform Plane Waves, Guided Electromagnetic Waves, and Electromagnetic Radiation. It can be used as a textbook for electromagnetic fields and waves courses in universities and colleges for majors such as Electronic Information, Communication Engineering, and Information Engineering, and is also reference material for engineering professionals.
