Solved Problems in Electromagnetic Engineering

by Syed A. Nasar About the Book SciTech Publishing is reissuing this extremely valuable learning resource, originally published in 1992 in the Schaum’s Problem-Solving Series for students of electromagnetics and those who wish to refresh and solidify their understanding of its challenging applications. Problem-solving drills help develop confidence, but few textbooks offer the answers – never mind the complete solutions – to their chapter exercises. Here, noted author Professor Syed Nasar has divided the book’s problems into topic areas similar to a textbook and presented a wide array of problems, followed immediately by their solutions. – Learn the best strategies for solving tough problems in step-by-step detail – Prepare effectively for exams – Use the Index to quickly locate the type of problems you need to review – Save and use again for refresher – Instructors: this is a great source for extra homework, quizzes, and exams!

› Fundamentals of Electromagnetics with MATLAB®, 2nd Edition, by Karl Lonngren, Sava Savov, Randy Jost Employing the power of MATLAB as both a visualization and a problem-solving tool, this book teaches electromagnetics in a much more engaging manner than traditional textbooks. (ISBN13: 9781891121588) › Antenna Design and Visualization Using MATLAB®, by Atef Elsherbeni and Matthew Inman This software program comes with a 110-page User Guide in a PDF file. It helps students and engineers in antenna design see the changes resulting from alterations to the parameters of design specifications. The authors’ website provides free upgrades and help to all who purchase and register the product. (ISBN13: 9781891121395) › Electronic Applications of the Smith Chart, by Phillip Smith The legendary Smith chart inventor’s classic reference book describes how the chart is used for designing lumped element and transmission line circuits. It provides tutorial material on transmission line theory and behavior, circuit representation on the chart, matching networks, network transformations and broadband matching. It also includes a new chapter with examples designs and description of the winSMITH software accessory. (ISBN13: 9781884932397)
