ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE INTERACTIONS
by A Guran (University of Southern California), R Mittra (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign) & P J Moser (AVTEC Systems Inc.)
This book is a collection of papers on electromagnetic wave mechanics and its applications written by experts in this field. It offers the reader a sampling of exciting research areas in this field. The topics include polarimetric imaging, radar spectroscopy, surface or creeping waves, bistatic radar scattering, the Seebeck affect. Mathematical methods include inverse scattering theory, singularity expansion method, mixed potential integral equation, method of moments, and diffraction theory. Applications include Cellular Mobile Radios (CMR), radar target identification, and Personal Communication Services (PCS). This book shows how electromagnetic wave theory is currently being utilized and investigated. It involves a modicom of mathematical physics and will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in electrical engineering, physics and applied mathematics.

"... Interference phenomena led to the discovery of the wave nature of acoustic signals, of light and finally material particles. Herbert Überall has gone the other way: he has studied the manifold phenomena, caused by interference, in the scattering of acoustic and electromagnetic waves by bodies of different shapes and material properties. Many collaborators has been inspired by his work, and have now contributed to this volume.The book is an excellent contribution to the literature of Acoustics and Wave Propagation. Professor Guran is to be congratulated for organizing and editing this volume."
