Wireless and Guided Wave Electromagnetics

This book is a one-stop reference on electromagnetic waves in free space and lightwave communication systems. It presents the fundamental aspects of optical communication techniques that employ wireless radiated and optically guided waves. The text highlights applications of electromagnetic waves in the wireless and guided media and includes MATLAB® and Simulink® computer models to help readers understand the behavior of the electromagnetic fields. The chapters build from the basics to the most modern aspects of electromagnetics for next-generation wireless and optical fiber communications.
