Impulse time-domain electromagnetics of continuous media

This book focuses on the interactions of ultrashort single-cycle electromagnetic pulses with dispersive, lossy, and magnetized media. A number of new results are presented here and are not found elsewhere in the literature. Comparisons between time-domain - frequency-domain methods will engage the broad electromagnetic theory community of physical and electrical engineers.

In finding solutions directly in time domain, that is, beyond the scope of traditional Fourier presentations, A.B. Shvartsburg provides new insights for engineers and physicists in many areas: space and plasma physics, optics and communication theory, general and wave physics, optoelectronics, and radio techniques.
