ABOUT THE BOOK 

Electromagnetic Waves and Radiating Systems is a classic, high-level textbook that has served as a cornerstone for electrical engineering students and professionals for decades. Originally authored by Edward C. Jordan and later revised with Keith G. Balmain, it provides a rigorous mathematical and physical foundation for understanding how electromagnetic fields behave and how they are harnessed for communication.

The book is famous for its transition from fundamental Maxwell’s Equations to practical applications like antennas, transmission lines, and wave propagation. It is often praised for its "vector-first" approach, which helps students visualize field interactions in three-dimensional space.
