Wireless and Guided Wave Electromagnetics : CRC Press : 9781138077874 : 1138077879 : 21 Apr 2017 : Wireless communications allow high-speed mobile access to a global Internet based on ultra-wideband backbone intercontinental and terrestrial networks. Both of these environments support the carrying of information via electromagnetic waves that are wireless (in free air) or guided through optical fibers. Wireless and Guided Wave Electromagnetics: Fundamentals and Applications explores the fundamental aspects of electromagnetic waves in wireless media and wired guided media. This is an essential subject for engineers and physicists working with communication technologies, mobile networks, and optical communications. This comprehensive book: Builds from the basics to modern topics in electromagnetics for wireless and optical fiber communicationExamines wireless radiation and the guiding of optical waves, which are crucial for carrying high-speed information in long-reach optical networki
