Features: This book is a revised and supplemented version based on the foundational lecture notes for graduate students studying "Electromagnetic Fields and Microwave Technology" and "Radio Physics." The entire book is divided into 10 chapters, with the first 8 chapters covering the fundamental theories of classical electrodynamics in both macroscopic and microscopic aspects, integrating the two. Chapters 9 and 10 discuss "Random Fields" and "Nonlinear Waves," serving as extensions built upon the established foundation. In the appendix, the saddle point method for complex functions and the basic formulation of path integrals are introduced. This book serves as a fundamental reference for teachers, researchers, and graduate students working and studying in the fields of radio physics, optics, and electromagnetic field engineering.
