Networks, Lines and Fields

Networks Lines and Fields

The book gives an introduction to the field of communication circuit engineering and electrical network theory, from the standpoint of both currents and small fields.It provides a basic coverage of the theory of transmission of electric energy in lumped constant circuits, on distributed-constant lines, through wave-guides and into space. The book covers specific circuit material, which is essential to an understanding of modern electronic circuits and operations. It also attempts to tie together the circuit and field viewpoint through extensive use of transmissions line analogy.The use of exponential and the reflection factor, rather than the hyperbolic form emphasize practical concepts of energy transfer in fields so that the student has before him the expressions for the incident and the reflected waves.
