5.0 out of 5 stars Waveguide Reference, November 27, 2000
This review is from: Electromagnetic Waves (Paperback)
I took Inan's class, and first saw this book as a collection of course notes. It was an excellent course, and an excellent set of notes. I purchased the text as soon as it became available. This is my primary reference for Waveguide theory. It does an excellent job treating the fundamentals of waves in a practical format. The text is easy to read, and has many examples. It is a good text to have as a reference and has enough examples to teach (or reteach) yourself.

4.0 out of 5 stars Is it necessary?, December 28, 2009
This review is from: Electromagnetic Waves (Paperback)
The book is not bad, but I wonder why the authors had to publish a separate text, instead of incorporating it into their other one ("Engineering Electromagnetics"). There is a lot of overlap between Chapter 8 of Engineering Electromagnetics and Chapters 2 and 3 in Electromagnetic Waves.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid text for understanding EM waves, May 8, 2000
This review is from: Electromagnetic Waves (Paperback)
Like his other book, Engineering Electromagnetics, this one provides a thorough, pretty rigorous treatment of EM waves. It does well with building on concepts, especially in the first half of the book. There are a lot of problems, and most of them have real-world application in mind. I only wish the slab waveguides sections treated the more general asymmetric case, as opposed to only the symmetric one.
