Electromagnetics Engineering Handbook: Analysis and Design of Electrical and Electronic Devices and Systems

In much of electrical and electronics engineering (including: analogue and digital telecommunications engineering; biomedical monitoring and diagnostic equipment; power systems engineering and sensor technology) getting back to the fundamental principles that govern the technologies, namely electromagnetic fields and waves, has become crucial for future customer friendly technology and systems. Electromagnetics Engineering Handbook has been written to enable undergraduate students studying electromagnetics engineering for the first time to gain an understanding of the essentials of the largely invisible, but powerful, electromagnetic fields governed by the four elegant Maxwell's equations. Moreover, the book helps to apply that knowledge through analytical and computational solutions of these frequency and material dependent electric and magnetic fields.As electrical and electronic engineering grows and subdivides into many specialities this book aims to inform the reader of the basic principles that govern all of these specialised systems and on how to apply that knowledge to understand and design devices and systems that may operate at vastly different frequencies and in various media (e. g. semiconductor materials, magnetic materials, biological tissues, outer space and sea water). It also deals with a range of different functions dependant on the area of application. For example at very low power frequencies electromagnetic fields perform vastly different functions from device to device, such as in power transformers; current transformers; infrared sensors; synchronous generators; superconducting devices; electric motors and electric powered transport systems. This handbook will be of great help to students, engineers, innovators and researchers working in a wide variety of disciplines

About the Author :
Prof. Paul R.P. Hoole was born in Jaffna, Sri Lanka in 1958. After having his basic schooling in Jaffna, he earned all his degrees, first degree to postgraduate, in the United Kingdom. He holds an MSc degree in Electrical Engineering with a Mark of Distinction from the University of London and an MSc degree in Plasma Science from University of Oxford. His doctorate, the DPhil. degree, is from the University of Oxford. In his engineering career he has spent time in Singapore, Papua New Guinea, USA, Sri Lanka and Malaysia. His most recent published research has been in the areas of electromagnetic wireless communication/navigation antennas, electromagnetic brain technology and science, climate electromagnetics and lightning-aircraft electrodynamics. Beyond the time he devotes to engineering teaching and research, Prof. Hoole also spends time studying and teaching the Bible applied to contemporary times in seminaries and churches. He is married to a medical doctor, Chrishanthy, and they have three children: Esther, Ezekiel and Elisabeth. Dr K. Pirapaharan, BSc. Eng. Hons (Peradeniya), M.Eng (Kinki, Japan), PhD (Kinki, Japan), is Senior Lecturer at School of Engineering, Taylor's University in Malaysia. His PhD degree is in the area of microwave and millimeter waves. From 2001 to 2003, he was a postdoctoral research associate at the Centre for Computational Electromagnetics, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, USA. From 2004 to 2011, he was a Senior Lecturer in the Electrical and Information. Prof. S. Ratnajeevan H. Hoole, BSc. Eng. Hons Cey., MSc with Mark of Distinction London, PhD. Carnegie Mellon, is Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Michigan State University in the US. For his accomplishments in electromagnetic product synthesis the University of London awarded him its higher doctorate, the DSc. (Eng.) degree, in 1993, and the IEEE elevated him to the grade of Fellow in 1995. Prof. Hoole has been Vice Chancellor of University of Jaffna in Sri Lanka, and as Member of the University Grants Commission there, was responsible with six others for the regulation of the administration of all 15 Sri Lankan universities and their admissions and funding. He has contributed widely to the learned literature on Tamil studies and been a regular columnist in newspapers. Prof. Hoole has been trained in Human Rights Research and Teaching at The Rene Cassin International Institute of Human Rights, Strasbourg, France, and has pioneered teaching human rights in the engineering curriculum. Engineering Department at University of Ruhuna, Sri Lanka where he was the head of the department from 2005 to 2008. Dr Pirapaharan's research interests include wave propagation in inhomogeneous media, adaptive antenna techniques and computational electromagnetics. He is a member of the IEEE and IET.
