General Books on Electromagnetics

When our department recently reviewed our junior-level text, we were struck by the large number of books now available from wh ich to teach introductory electromagnetics. Here, I mention only my two personal favorites. The first is Ramo, Whinnery and van Duzer's cIassic text [S. Ramo, 1. R. Whinnery, and T. van Ouzer, Fields and Waves in Communication Electronics, Third Edition, New York, John Wiley and Sons, 1 994. ], first published in 1 965. This is the text from which I was taught as a student in 1 981. My second favorite is the unique text by Haus and Me\cher [H. A. Haus and 1. R. Melcher, Electromagnetic Fields and Energy, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, Prentice-Hall, 1 989. ], now sadly out of print. The book offers an unrivalled and rigorous development of quasi-statics, a field that most texts gloss over. We used this text for our juniors for many years, but it requires a stronger grounding in physics than most EE students now have. This, combined with being out of print, led us to replace it with a text more accessible to our students.

this work is still regularly cited today. It has recently been reissued by the IEEE, and it is again readily available. At the post-graduate level, Balanis's text has become a standard reference [4] . It is especially notable for its detailed and rigorous derivation of classic analytical results in electromagnetics, such as scattering from right circular cylinders and spheres. Harrington's book [5] is another standard reference, also available as an IEEE reprint; it is not dissimilar in coverage to Balanis. For more-advanced treatments - in particular, of integral equations - Ishimaru's text can be recommended [6] . Unlike most books on electromagnetics that first introduce analytical solutions, with numerics only introduced later, Smith 's book [7] starts with an immediate application of the FDTD before moving on to the more-classical approach. Another book taking a less-conventional approach is Elliot's particularly erudite text [8] . The book starts immediately with special relativity, and develops electromagnetics in that context. Jones presents an interesting unified treatment of acoustics and electromagnetics in [9] . His two-volume text is also of interest, although the slightly unconventional notation therein requires adjustment [10]. Tai 's text [11] is the standard reference on dyadic Green functions in electromagnetics. Felsen and Marcuvitz [12] - first published in 1 973, and also now available again as an IEEE reprint - is another classic in advanced EM theory, although not the easiest reading. Their coverage of the asymptotic evaluation of integrals is regularly cited. On guided waves, Collin is the standard reference [13]. For an very good treatment of stratified media, Chew's book rewards study [14]; Kong also addresses this in some detail in [15]. For an excellent treatment of electromagnetics in the context of radio astronomy, Kraus's book remains a valuable reference [16]. (The second edition ofthis text was effectively self-published). Although the latter part of both editions, especially that focusing on specific telescopes, is now of course very outdated, the first part retains its relevance. Many excellent books on electromagnetics ics than engineering oriented. A frequently referenced book in physics is Jackson's text [17]. Whilst I have referred to it on occasions, it can be a somewhat inaccessible for engineers. A volume (actually three volumes) to which I regularly refer are Feynman's Lectures in Physics [18]. Although first presented almost fifty years ago, Feynman's idiosyncratic approach remains compelling today, and his discussion of electromagnetic potential theory, including the Lienard-Wiechert potential, is superb. An interesting footnote here is that the final lecture concludes with a discussion of the Josephson junction, just invented at the time, and F eynman 's insight into its potential. In the closely related field of optics, Born and Wolf is the classic reference [19]. Finally, for those wanting an unconventional and challenging development with a very strong physics perspective, Schwinger's recently published and edited lecture notes on electromagnetics [20] can be recommended.

 

General Books on Computational Electromagnetics

Peterson, Ray, and Mittra's book [2 1] is a classic, with excellent coverage of both integral- and differential-equationbased techniques. It is perhaps strongest on the former. Bondeson, Rylander, and Ingelström's text [22] offers particularly concise coverage of the field, combined with a rigorous mathematical approach. It is particularly strong on basic aspects of finite differencing, especially when applied to complex exponentials - which underlies both dispersion and stability analyses of the FDTD. My own book [23] takes a slightly different approach to both these texts: it integrates theoretical development; MATLAB examples in one, two, and three dimensions; and application of commercial software. It provides approximately equal coverage of the FDTD, MoM, and FEM. Sadiku's book is widely referenced [24] . It is more general that the three discussed above, which focus primarily on full-wave applications. Booton's text [25] is similar to Sadiku's in its generality, but with less-extensive coverage. None of these texts addresses asymptotic methods - in particular, UTD - for which [26] remains the standard reference. It should also be mentioned that some recent antenna texts, for example [27, 28], contain introductory coverage of MoM, FDTD, and UTD

4. Special ized Books on Computational E lectromagnetics

There are several very good texts on the FDTD method. Kunz and Luebber's was the first [29], appearing in 1 993. Taftove's volume, presently in its third and co-authored edition [30], is the standard reference for the FDTD in CEM. The book offers encyclopedic coverage of the method. (Kunz and Luebbers were unfortunate to publish their book just before the revolutionary perfectly matched layer (PML) was invented by Berenger in 1 994, although the book still contains useful material, not the least a working FDTD code. This code has served as the basis for a number of academic codes.) Similarly, the FEM is weil served. There are a number of excellent texts on the FEM, including those by Jin (revised in 2002) [3 1], Silvester and Ferrari [32], and Volakis et al. [33]. Another useful source is the 1 996 volume edited by Itoh et al. [34] . More recently, Zhu and Cangellaris's text [35] provides coverage of many advanced issues in full-wave FEM. The book by Monk repays careful study by those wanting a text with more mathematical rigor, whilst still being firmly rooted in electromagnetics [36] . The MoM is currently less weil served by single-focus books. The original text by Harrington [37], although reprinted   - but not revised - on several occasions and still very widely referenced, is not particularly useful when implementing complex RF simulation codes, since its focus is more on basic concepts. The text by Wang [38] is quite widely referenced, but was published many years back, and some of the more troublesome and advanced issues of a MoM implementation are not discussed in the book. Several important chapters in the now hard-to-find [39] are of considerable interest when implementing complex wire codes, and this still appears to be the only comprehensive derivation available of the magneticfield integral equation as generally used; this work generalized some aspects of Maue 's original derivation. Another hard-tofind reference with useful information on MoM procedures for arbitrarily oriented wire antennas is [40] . In this context, Moore and Pizer's monograph [4 1] was useful in its time, but unfortunately has never been revised, and may be difficult to locate. (Although a report rather than a book, a useful and readily available source on this topic is the theory manual for NEC-2 [42] .) Although focused specifically on antenna modeling as an application of MoM, the book by Makarov can be recommended [43].
