Product Description
Based on familiar circuit theory and basic physics, this book serves as an invaluable reference for both analog and digital engineers alike. For those who work with analog RF, this book is a must-have resource. With computers and networking equipment of the 21st century running at such high frequencies, it is now crucial for digital designers to understand electromagnetic fields, radiation and transmission lines. This knowledge is necessary for maintaining signal integrity and achieving EMC compliance. Since many digital designers are lacking in analog design skills, let alone electromagnetics, an easy-to-read but informative book on electromagnetic topics should be considered a welcome addition to their professional libraries.
Covers topics using conceptual explanations and over 150 lucid figures, in place of complex mathematicsDemystifies antennas, waveguides, and transmission line phenomenaProvides the foundation necessary to thoroughly understand signal integrity issues associated with high-speed digital design

I found this book to be an excellent primer to the topic. Finally, a book that will hold your hand through some of the "fundementals."
I would strongly recommend this book for any non eletrical engineer wanting to understand this material.
Really close to a "must have" for the engineering library June 3, 2008

Say what you will, but even the EMC/EMI "guru type" person gets confused once in awhile on the complexities of electromagnetics. So that leaves us "little people" in need of a handy, precise and basic-to-advanced "explainer" to get us back on track. I'm fairly seasoned on EMC but I really like this book and carry it with me quite often on trips for handy reference. It certainly provides for the "big picture" while still adding significant depth. Especially for the beginner to intermediate this book is highly recommended. I have this suspicion the advanced persons don't have it far away either! Congratulations to the author. Perhaps he will follow up with an advanced version on select topics.
 An easy to read book , so? October 26, 2007

The author has succeeded in writing an easy to read book. I read through it in two days. But is it useful and worthy keeping? The author covers a lot of ground, even included a cursory introduction to special relativity and quantum electrodynamics which have no relevance to the rest of the book. It gives a relatively painless introduction to various concepts in electromagnetism. But the superficiality makes it a book for the popular audience rather than electrical engineers. The author does have the good sense to include a set of good references. So read the book once, and study the reference books. The book is not worthy keeping. I've sold mine.
Nice integration of diverse topics May 7, 2007

I'd characterize this book as qualitative rather than quantitative. It provides good verbal descriptions for a wide variety of concepts related to electromagnetics. For me, it tied together a lot of lose ends. This book works pretty well for someone who has a moderate grasp of the electromagnetic fundamentals and wants to go to the next level of understanding without becoming mired in equations -- maybe a sort of heavy duty tutorial for students, recent graduates, and just-plain-curious technically oriented people. This is one of those must-read books, but I would not recommend it to someone without knowldge of college-level physics and differential calculus.
