Since charge acceleration is the source of all electromagnetic radiation, it’s important to understand where this acceleration happens on objects commonly studied by electromagnetic engineers, such as antennas and radars. This book quantitatively investigates how charge acceleration leads to radiation in these typical structures.
It introduces new methods for modeling the actual distribution of electromagnetic radiation from various sources. Unlike most electromagnetics books, which focus on analytical theory, this book centers on radiation itself—a fundamental property of electromagnetic fields—and explores it from multiple perspectives rather than building a formal theoretical framework.
The main aim is to equip readers with computational tools to quantitatively determine why and where antennas and scatterers emit radiation. This distinctive approach will be of broad interest to the electromagnetic theory community.
