Fundamentals of Applied Electromagnetics Fifth Edition ey ae, ey FAWWAZ T. ULABY Wee this book was first taught from, each student was asked to write a brief statement describing his or her understanding of what role electromagnetics plays in science, technology, and society. The following statement, submitted by Mr. Schaldenbrand, who has since graduated with a BS.E. degree, was selected for inclusion here: Electromagnetics has done more than just help science. Since we have such advanced communications, our understanding of other nations and nation- alities has increased exponentially. This understanding has led and will lead the governments of the world to work towards global peace. The more knowledge we have about different cultures, the less foreign these cultures will seem. A global kinship will result, and the by-product will be harmony. Understanding is the first step, and communication is the means. Electromagnetics holds the key to this communication, and therefore is an important subject for not only science, but also the sake of humanity.

As an author, I am of course delighted and gratified by the book's success, but to keep its conten! relevant and its presentation style attractive, I have to continue 10 explore ways (o improve it. My hest source of feedback has been frum colleagues who teach from the book al other universities. Their comments and suggestions have proved invaluable, as have some of the questions 1 received from students via e-mail, This fifth edition incorporates a number of specific changes aimed at clarifying certain concepts or elaborat- ing on their significance. More significant, however, are the following major revisions: 1. Waveguides and Cavity Resonators The material in Chapter 8 on geomerric optics has been deleted and replaced with six new sections on waveguides nud cavity resonators. This revision has been in response to input from a few colleagues who told me that they Tike teaching from the hook, hat they have had to supplement it with handout material of their own on waveguides and resonators, 2. Technology Briets In an attempt to bridge the gap between the fundamental concepls covered in an undergriduate-level textbook, such as Applied Electromagnetics and the world of applications that students experience all around theu— from cell phones and compulers to the near-instantuncous retrieval and display of information—the fifth edition of fersascquence of “Technology Briefs” onselevant topics. Examples include capacitive sensors and how they are used to measure pressure and as fingerprinting devices; liquid crystal displays, emphasizing the fundamental role of wave polarization to their operation: and the principles of operation of the laser, GPS, and X-ray tomogruphy, ‘among others. In each case, the intent is ta connect a basic ‘concept, such as capacitance, inductance, or polarization, to real-world applications, 3. End-of-Chapter Problems Extensive revisions have been made to end-of-chapter problems. In some casex problems were replaced with fnew ones. while in other cases, numerical values were changed to render ok! solutions essentially obsotetc. CONTENT ‘The book begins by building a bridge between what should be familiar to a third-year clectrical engineering student and the electromagnetics (EM) material covered in the book Prior to enrolling in an EM course. a typical student will have taken one or more courses in circuits. He or she should be familiar with circuit analysis. Ohm's low, Kirchhoff's current and voltage laws, and related topics, Transmission lines constitute a natural bridge xiv between electric circuits and electromagnetics. Without having to deal with vectors or fields. the student uses concepts that are already familiar 10 learn about wave srotion, the reflection and wransinission of power. phasors, impedance matching, and many of the properties of wave propagation in a guided structure, All of these newly learned concepts will prove invalnable later (in Chapters 7 through 9) and will facilitate the learning of how plane waves propagate in free space and in material media Transmission lines are covered in Chapter 2, which is preceded in Chapter I by reviews of complex numbers and phasor analysis. The next part of the book, Chopters 3 throught 5. covers vector analysis, electrostatics, and magnctostatics, Compared with most EM textbooks written for undex- ‘graduate instruction, the present hook differs in terms Of its presentation of these three topics in the following two ways: Of the total mumber of pages contained in the book, about 30% are allocated to these topics. compared with 50% or more in mast EM textbooks. The electrostatics chapter begins with Maxwell's equations for the time-varying case. which are then specialized to elecuostatics and magnetostatics, thereby providing the student with an overall framework for what isto come and showing him orher why electrostatics and magnetostatics are special cases of the more general time-varying case. Chapter 6 deals with time-varying fields and sets the stage for the material in Chapters 7 through 9. Chapter 7 covers pkine-wave propagution in dielectric and conducting media and Chapter & covers reflection and transmission at discontinuous boundaries and introduces the student to fiber optics, waveguides, and resonators. In Chapter 9. the student is introduced to the principles of radiation by curremts flowing in wires, xuch us dipoles. as well as to radiation by apertures, such as a horn fantennu or an opening in an opaque screen illuminated by alight source. To give the student a taste of the wide-ranging applications of electromagnetics in today’s technological society, Chapter 10 concludes the book with overview Preface presentations of two system examples: satellite commu- nication systems and radar sensors. ‘The muterial in this book was wvitten for a two-semester sequence of six cretits, but it is possible to trim it down to generate a syllabus for a one-semester four-credit course. The accompanying table provides syllabi for each of these 1wo options. In writing this book, I avoided lengthy derivations of theorems. particularly those involving extensive use of vector calculus. My goal bas been to help the student to develop competence in applying vector calculus 10 solve electromagnetic problems of practical imerest. | view vector calculas and mathematics in general as useful tools and not as ends in and of themselves, ‘Throughout the matcrial. emphasis is placed on using the mathematics 10 explain and clarify the physics, followed by practical examples intended to demonstrate the engineering relevanice of physical concepts.

Massage to the Studont The interactive CD-ROM accompanying this hook was developed with you, the student, in mind. Take the time to use Lin conjunction with the moterial inthe textbook. The multipte-windaw feanure of electronic displays makes it possible to design interactive modules with “help” buttons to guide the student through the solution of a problem when nceded. Video animations can show you how ficlds and waves propagate in time and space, how the beam of an antenna arfuy can be made to scan electronically, and examples of how current is muuced in a circuit under the influence of a changing magnetic field. The CD-ROM is a useful resource for self-study Use it! Message to ihe tastructor 1 found the demos conuiined in the CD-ROM to be extremely helpful in explaining certain EM concepts, particularly when both time and space are involved. Examine D8.3 as an example und you'll see what I mean. With that demo. it was so much casier to explain to the students the concepts of travelling and standing waves, how boundary conditions are satisfied at the interface between two dissimilar media. and what we mean by stunding wave ratio. The video prescatotions were well received by the students and generated a lot of questions.

The laws governing these relationships constitute the basic infrastructure we use in the study of electromagnetic phenomena.

In the classical era, the fundamental laws of electricity and magnetism were discovered and formulated. Building on these fundamental formulations, the modern cra of the past 100 years, characterized by the inoduction of a wide range of engineering applications, ushered the birth of the field of applied electromugnetics. the topic of this book, EM In the Classical Era ‘Chronology 1-1 (pages 6 and 7) provides a timeline for the classical era. It highlights those inventions snd dis- coverics that have impacted the historical developmicat of electromagnetics in a very significant way, albeit that the discoveries selected for inclusion represent oaly a small fraction of the many scientific explorations responsible for our current understanding of electromagnetics. As we Proceed thruugh the bouk. we will observe that some of the names highlighted in Chronology 1-1, such as those: of Coulomb and Faraday. appear ayain later as we discuss the laws and formulations named after them. INTRODUCTION: WAVES AND PHASORS, ‘The anractive force of magnetite was reported by the Greeks some 2B00 years ago. It was also a Greek. Thules of Miletus. whe first wrote about what we now call static cleetricity; he described how rubhing amber caused it to develop a force that could pick up light objects such as feathers. The term cleciric first appeared in print in ~1600 in a treatise on the (electric) force generated by friction, authored by the physician to Queen Elizabeth I, William Gilbert. About a century later. in 1733, Charles-Frangois div Fay introduced the concept that electricity consists of two types of “Aids.” one positive and the other negative, and that like-fluids repel and upposite-fluids attract. His notion of A what we today call electric charge. Invention of the capacitor in 1748. originally called the Leyden jar, made it possible to store significant amounts of electric charge in a single device. A few years later, in 1782, Renjamin Franklin demonstrated that lightning is a form of electricity. He transferred clectric charge from a cloud to a Leyuen jar via a silk kite own in a thunderstorm. The collective 18th century knowledge about electricity was integrated in 1785 by Charles- Augustin de Coulomb, in the form of a mathematical formulation characterizing the electrical force between two chasges in terms of the strengths and polarities of the charges und the distance between them. The year 1800 is noted for the development of the first electric hattery, by Alessandro Volta, and 1820 was a hanner year for discoveries about bow mngnetism is induced by electric currents. This knowledge was put to ood use by Joseph Henry. who developed one of the earliest designs for electromagnets and electric motors. Shortly thereufter, Michael Faraday built the first clectric generator (the converse of the electric motur). Faraday. ‘essence. demonstrated that a changing magnetic fiek! induces an electric field (and hence a voltage). The converse relation, namely that a changing electric field induces a magnetic Geld, was proposed by James Clerk Maxwell in 1873 when be introduced his four (now) 1:1_ DIMENSIONS, UNITS.

X-rays, nother member of the EM family, were discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Roentgen. On the applied side. Nikola Tevda was the first to develop the a-c motor, considered a Inajor advance over its predecessor, the d-c motor, Despite the advances made inthe 19th century in leamn- ing about electricity and magnetism and how to put them lopractical use, it was not until 1897 that the fundamental particle of clectric charge. the electron, was identified and its properties quantified (by J. J. Thomson), The ability 10 eject electrons from a material by shining electromagnetic energy. such as light, on it is known as the photuclectric effect. To explain this effect, bert Einstein adopted the quantum concept of energy that had been advanced a few years earlier (1900) by Max Planck in bis formulation of the quantum theory of matter. By so doing, Einstein symbolizes the bridge between the classical and modern eras of electromagnetics.
