Electrical Engineering/Electromagnetics Waves and Fields in
Inhomogeneous Media A Volume in the IEEE Press Series on
Electromagnetic Waves Donald G. Dudley, Series Editor ".it is one
of the best wave propagation treatments to appear in many years."
Gerardo G. Tango, CPG, Consulting Seismologist-Acoustician,
Covington, LA This comprehensive text thoroughly covers fundamental
wave propagation behaviors and computational techniques for waves
in inhomogeneous media. The author describes powerful and
sophisticated analytic and numerical methods to solve
electromagnetic problems for complex media and geometry as well.
Problems are presented as realistic models of actual situations
which arise in the areas of optics, radio wave propagation,
geophysical prospecting, nondestructive testing, biological
sensing, and remote sensing. Key topics covered include:

* Analytical methods for planarly, cylindrically and spherically
layered media

* Transient waves, including the Cagniard-de Hoop method

* Variational methods for the scalar wave equation and the
electromagnetic wave equation

* Mode-matching techniques for inhomogeneous media

* The Dyadic Green's function and its role in simplifying
problem-solving in inhomogeneous media

* Integral equation formulations and inverse problems

* Time domain techniques for inhomogeneous media

This book will be of interest to electromagnetics and remote
sensing engineers, physicists, scientists, and geophysicists. This
IEEE Press reprinting of the 1990 version published by Van Nostrand
Reinhold incorporates corrections and minor updating. Also in the
series. Mathematical Foundations for Electromagnetic Theory by
Donald G. Dudley, University of Arizona at Tucson This volume in
the series lays the mathematical foundations for the study of
advanced topics in electromagnetic theory. Important subjects
covered include linear spaces, Green's functions, spectral
expansions, electromagnetic source representations, and
electromagnetic boundary value problems. 1994 Hardcover 264 pp ISBN
