Electromagnetics of Time Varying Complex Media

<p>Completely revised and updated to reflect recent advances in the fields of materials science and electromagnetics <strong>Electromagnetics of Time Varying Complex Media Second Edition</strong> provides a comprehensive examination of current topics of interest in the research community—including theory numerical simulation application and experimental work. Written by a world leader in the research of frequency transformation in a time-varying magnetoplasma medium the new edition of this bestselling reference discusses how to apply a time-varying medium to design a frequency and polarization transformer. </p><p>This authoritative resource remains the only electromagnetic book to cover time-varying anisotropic media Frequency and Polarization Transformer based on a switched magnetoplasma medium in a cavity and FDTD numerical simulation for time-varying complex medium. Providing a primer on the theory of using magnetoplasmas for the coherent generation of tunable radiation early chapters use a mathematical model with one kind of complexity—eliminating the need for high-level mathematics. Using plasma as the basic medium to illustrate various aspects of the transformation of an electromagnetic wave by a complex medium the text highlights the major effects of each kind of complexity in the medium properties. This significantly expanded edition includes: </p><ul> <p> </p> <li> <em>Three new parts:</em> (a) Numerical Simulation: FDTD Solution (b) Application: Frequency and Polarization Transformer and (c) Experiments</li> <p> </p> <li>A slightly enhanced version of the entire first edition plus 70% new material</li> <p> </p> <li>Reprints of papers previously published by the author—providing researchers with complete access to the subject</li> </ul><p>The text provides the understanding of research techniques useful in electro-optics plasma science and engineering microwave engineering and solid state devices. This complete resource supplies an accessible treatment of the effect of time-varying parameters in conjunction with one or more additional kinds of complexities in the properties of particular mediums. </p>
