Bücher der Reihe Developments in Electromagnetic Theory and Applications

An introduction to inverse scattering within the context of electromagnetism. It provides a physical approach to inverse scattering solutions, emphasizing the applied aspects rather than the mathematical rigour.

This book is written for scientists and engineers whose work involves wave reflec tion or transmission. The mathematical connection between electromagnetic s (or TE) waves and quantum particle waves is established in Chapter 1.

The contents are presented in four parts and the sequence of these parts reflect the development of ionospheric and propagational research in areas such as space research geophysics and communications. The first part of the book presents an outline of the theory of electromagnetic waves propagating in a cold electron plasma.

The book aims to present current knowledge concerning the propagation of electro magnetic waves in a homogeneous magnetoplasma for which temperature effects are unimportant. Input reactance is not treated, but the dependence of radiation resistance on wave frequency is described for the entire electromagnetic spectrum.

Microwave testing has been paid only scant attention in the literature as a method for nondestructive testing of materials, yet it offers some attractive features, especially for the testing of composite and other non-metallic materials.
