Polarization in Electromagnetic Systems Second Edition (HB)

Polarization is the orientation of the electric field of an electromagnetic wave. It is a topic not well understood by engineers, which often leads to less than optimum system performance and, in some cases, complete system failure. The aim of this book is to understand polarization concepts and to provide useful tools to maximize electromagnetic system performance through the best use of polarization. It is suitable as a textbook, especially as part of radio systems-oriented course work intended to study the complete propagation channel.
