(from the preface) ...... You will find that this second edition goes a little faster than the first. It goes a little farther, also, in differential equations, in natural responses, in complex poles and zeros, in Fourier transforms, particularly in Laplace transforms, and even a little farther in matrix theory. Nevertheless, it makes hardly any greater demands on student preparation, and the following paragraphs are taken almost verbatim from the first edition.

Discusses the principles of wave action with particular emphasis on the basic ideas of Maxwell's equations and repeated use in simple examples. Stress is placed on physical concepts, with full attention to mathematical rigor, and with concrete application to engineering practice.

New material is included on wave guides. The chapter on antennas is rewritten. Discussion of reflection is substantially increased and re-organized. Wave propagation in semi-conducting media is considered. Propagation in ionized regions is discussed in a short chapter on the ionosphere. The rationalized system of meter-kilogram-second units, the Giorgi system, is used throughout this edition. For the benefit of those who are more familiar with the centimeter-gram-second system, explanatory notes in the early chapters provide a transition. It is now clear that students will find makes units the most commonly used in current literature, and it appears that the sooner that system is learned the easier the student's work will be. Problems are given with each chapter, and they are an integral part of the book. Most of them supplement some idea that is left without complete discussion in the test. They are arranged in the same order as the text material with which they are to be used, and in general one or two of them should be worked day by day. Also and this is very important-many of the concepts of the book are new to the reader and will cease to seem strange only after continued and repeated use.
