This book introduces you to the world of electromagnetic waves. It contains a detailed analysis of electromagnetic surface waves in microwave absorbing layers. The surface waves play an important role in the complex scattering and absorption process. Although microwave absorbing coatings have been widely used since the Second World War, their properties have not been sufficiently studied. The authors have investigated surface waves in actual microwave absorbing layers in detail. This book demystifies complicated subjects and is ideal for researchers, engineers, and students. This book is essential for everyone - experienced professionals as well as those just entering the industry. Discover electromagnetic waves in a brand-new way to transform how you perceive contemporary technologies.
