Radiation and Scattering of Waves FROM THE PUBLISHER
This world-renowned classic by Professors Felsen and Marcuvitz continues to abound in timely and useful materialover 20 years after it was originally published. The book contains indispensable information that remains difficult to find anywhere else in the electromagnetics and acoustics literature, and it will be useful for many years to come. Of particular interest is Chapter 4, Asymptotic Evaluation of Integrals, which is appreciated and cited worldwide. It contains an in-depth description of asymptotic techniques and formulas useful to both engineers and physicists. Key features include unified treatment of radiation, diffraction, and scattering problems in electromagnetics, acoustics, and plasma-like media; comprehensive coverage of physical interpretations for wave processes; indispensable information on alternative representations and asymptotics - not found anywhere else; and invaluable coverage of transients particularly applicable to advances in high-speed electronics and extra-wideband radar. This book will be of interest to students, engineers, and physicists involved in electromagnetics and acoustics. Makes an important reference for graduate classes.
FROM THE CRITICS
Booknews
The series publishes books of long-term archival significance in electromagnetics, including new titles as well as reprints and revisions of recognized classics. The present volume first appeared in 1973 (Prentice-Hall), but much of its material is still difficult, or even impossible, to find elsewhere in the electromagnetic literature. Of particular interest is Chapter 4, Asymptotic Evaluation of Integrals, which remains a most useful collection of asymptotic techniques and formulas for engineers and physicists who are not concerned primarily with rigorous mathematics.
