Electromagnetic Scattering and Material Characterization

Based on the author’s more-than 30 years of experience, this first-of-its-kind volume offers microwave engineers and advanced engineering students a comprehensive and systematic analysis of electromagnetic fields and their scattering by material objects. The book considers all three categories of scattering environments commonly used for material measurements - unbounded regions, waveguides, and cavity resonators. The book covers such essential topics as electromagnetic field propagation, radiation, and scattering, containing mathematically rigorous approaches for the computation of electromagnetic fields and the explanation of their behaviour. Moreover, the book explores new measurement techniques for material characterisation - most of which have never been published before. This detailed reference is packed with over 400 equations.
