Polarization in Electromagnetic Systems

This completely revised and expanded edition of an Artech House classic Polarization in Electromagnetic Systems presents the principles of polarization as applied to electromagnetic systems. This book emphasizes the concepts needed for functional aspects of systems calculations and device evaluation. Readers find up-to-date coverage of applications in wireless communications. The fundamentals of polarization are explained, including the principles of wave polarization, and polarization state representations. This book explores partially polarized waves, and includes details about unpolarized waves, degree of polarization, and stokes parameters representation.
