Designed to support a variety of courses

MATLAB-Based Electromagnetics covers all important theoretical concepts, methodological procedures, and solution tools in electromagnetic fields and waves for undergraduates—organized in 12 chapters on electrostatic fields; steady electric currents; magnetostatic fields; time-varying electromagnetic fields; uniform plane electromagnetic waves; transmission lines; waveguides and cavity resonators; and antennas and wireless communication systems.

The book provides two interwoven themes: presentation and study of electromagnetics using MATLAB and development and discussion of MATLAB for electromagnetics
Provides a theoretical overview at the start of each section within each chapter of the book
Can be used to either complement another electromagnetics text, or as an independent resource
Designed primarily for undergraduate electromagnetics, but can also be used in follow-up courses on antennas, propagation, microwaves, advanced electromagnetic theory, computational electromagnetics, electrical machines, signal integrity, etc.
Allows for flexibility in coverage of the material, including the transmission-lines-early and transmission-lines-first approaches

Spark independent learning and classroom discussion

Assignments of computer exercises along with traditional “by hand” problems help students develop a stronger intuition and a deeper understanding of electromagnetics. Moreover, this approach actively challenges and involves the student, providing additional benefit as compared to a passive computer demonstration. This book provides abundant opportunities for instructors to assign in-class and homework projects, and for students to engage in independent learning. MATLAB exercises are also ideal for interactive in-class explorations and discussions (active teaching and learning), and for teamwork and peer instruction (collaborative teaching/learning).

Contains 389 MATLAB computer exercises and projects, covering and reinforcing practically all important theoretical concepts, methodologies, and problem-solving techniques in electromagnetic fields and waves
Maintains a favorable balance of MATLAB exercises between static (one third) and dynamic (two thirds) topics
Offers MATLAB exercises at all levels of difficulty, from a few lines of MATLAB code, to those requiring a great deal of initiative and exploration
Contains 125 TUTORIALS with detailed solutions merged with listings of MATLAB codes (m files); a demo tutorial for every class of MATLAB problems and projects is provided
Gives 98 HINTS with guidance on the solution, equations, and programming, often with portions of the code and/or resulting graphs and movie snapshots for validation
Features 48 3-D and 2-D movies developed and played in MATLAB, which are extremely valuable for interactive visualizations of fields and waves
Displays 133 figures generated in MATLAB with plots of geometries of structures, vector fields, guided and unbounded waves, wave polarization curves, Smith charts, transient signals, antenna patterns, etc.
Presents 16 graphical user interfaces (GUIs) built in MATLAB to calculate and display parameters and characteristics of various electromagnetic structures, materials, and systems, selected from a pop-up menu
Offers 130 MATLAB exercises recommended to be done also “by hand” – i.e., not using MATLAB, thus serving as traditional written problems
