This section focuses on the basic electromagnetic field concepts, wave propagation, devices, circuits, ar other applications. The electric fields which are produced by stationary or moving charges are described Chapter 35 Maxwells equations and their solutions under different boundary conditions help in determining he electric field components and resulting effects. The next chapter describes the magnetic fields and magnetic effects due to moving charges or current. These magnetic fields are also governed by Maxwells equations and their solutions are obtained ferent boundary conditions. Particular magnetic materials with an assemblage of ferromagnetic particles in a nonferromagnetic matrix are useful as audio or video tapes. This subject is investigated in Chapter 36 to provide insight into the recording mechanism of the music we hear all the time. The time-varying electromagnetic field propagation in space or in transmission lines provides the concept of radio communication as discussed in Chapter 37. Another article in the chapter analyzes the transmission of energy through waveguides and microstripline. Microstripline have become the basic building blocks for microwave integrated circuits(MICS). For the propagation of electromagnetic fields in space, properly matched ntennas between generator and space are required, as described in Chapter 38. wire and aperture antennas are also described The high-frequency or microwave-frequency electromagnetic field concepts are helpful in studying the micro- wave devices as discussed in Chapter 39. The electromagnetic compatibility(EMC)study in the following chapter is important for proper functioning of microwave devices and circuits. The important application of electro- magnetic radiation in the form of radar, discussed in Chapter 41, is useful not only for defense but in remote sensing and weather forecasting also. The next chapter explains the propagation of light through waveguides and optical fibers/cables. Optical fiber technology is an emerging technology and is affecting every facet of human life. Microwave circuits are the practical realization of electromagnetic field concepts and are discussed in Chapter 42. with the arrival of sophisticated software packages and high-speed computers, now it is possible and worthwhile to do 3-D analysis and computer modeling of electromagnetic fields in the circuits or devices, as discussed in the last two chapters of this section. This is helpful in the accurate design of microwave components and circuits.
