Analytical Modeling in Applied Electromagnetics offers electrical engineers and advanced students the most complete treatment on the subject published to date, focusing on the nature of models in radio engineering. This leading-edge resource provides detailed coverage of the latest topics that professionals need to understand and applies these concepts to a wide range of applications. It provides practitioners with working examples that are mainly directed to antenna applications, but the modeling methods and results can be used for other practical devices as well. The book features an in-depth discussion of the basic building blocks of every radio system. This analysis includes classical and well-studied topics such as highly conducting surfaces and thin layers of various materials, as well as the more novel or alternative structures being applied today. Introduction. Thin Layers and Sheets. Interfaces and Higher Order Boundary Conditions. Periodical Structures, Arrays, and Meshes. Composite Materials. Applications in Metamaterials and Artificial Impedance Surfaces. Author Index. Subject Index.
