This comprehensive book delves into the intricate principles of operation of electromagnetic waveguides and transmission lines. It adopts a balanced approach, dividing its content between mathematical descriptions of fundamental behaviors and in-depth treatment of various waveguide structures. The text begins by exploring classical (distributed-network) transmission lines, delving into their basic properties, connections to lumped-element networks, and the distortion of pulses. It then proceeds to conduct a thorough full-field analysis of waveguide modes, covering modes of traditional hollow metallic waveguides, dielectric (including optical) waveguides, and more.

To further enhance the understanding of waveguide modes, the book addresses the problems of excitation and scattering of these modes. This is followed by a discussion of real-world systems and their performance, highlighting the practical applications of waveguide technology in communication systems, antennas, and other fields.

With its extensive coverage and detailed explanations, this book serves as a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals seeking to gain a deeper understanding of electromagnetic waveguides and transmission lines. Its comprehensive nature makes it suitable for both introductory and advanced courses in the field.
