This title is co-published with Oxford University Press. Long considered the most comprehensive account of electromagnetic theory and analytical methods for solving waveguide and cavity problems, this new Second Edition has been completely revised and thoroughly updated - approximately 40 per cent new material! Packed with examples and applications "Field theory of guided waves" provides solutions to a large number of practical structures of current interest. The book includes an exceptionally complete discussion of scalar and Dyadic Green functions. Both a valuable review and source of basic information on applied mathematical topics and a hands-on source for solution methods and techniques, this book belongs on the desk of all engineers working in microwave and antenna systems! It is sponsored by: IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society.

(FOUNDATIONS FOR MICROWAVE ENGINEERING, Second Edition, co...)
FOUNDATIONS FOR MICROWAVE ENGINEERING, Second Edition, covers the major topics of microwave engineering. Its presentation defines the accepted standard for both advanced undergraduate and graduate level courses on microwave engineering. An essential reference book for the practicing microwave engineer, it features: * Planar transmission lines, as well as an appendix that describes in detail conformal mapping methods for their analysis and attenuation characteristics* Small aperture coupling and its application in practical components such as directional couplers and cavity coupling* Printed circuit components with an emphasis on techniques such as even and odd mode analysis and the use of symmetry properties* Microwave linear amplifier and oscillator design using solid--state circuits such as varactor devices and transistors FOUNDATIONS FOR MICROWAVE ENGINEERING, Second Edition, has extensive coverage of transmission lines, waveguides, microwave circuit theory, impedance matching and cavity resonators. It devotes an entire chapter to fundamental microwave tubes, in addition to chapters on periodic structures, microwave filters, small signal solid--state microwave amplifier and oscillator design, and negative resistance devices and circuits. Completely updated in 1992, it is being reissued by the IEEE Press in response to requests from our many members, who found it an invaluable textbook and an enduring reference for practicing microwave engineers. Sponsored by: IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society An Instructora s Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available upon request from the Wiley Makerting Department.

( In Writing Ethnographic Fieldnotes, Robert M. Emerson, ...)
In Writing Ethnographic Fieldnotes, Robert M. Emerson, Rachel I. Fretz, and Linda L. Shaw present a series of guidelines, suggestions, and practical advice for creating useful fieldnotes in a variety of settings, demystifying a process that is often assumed to be intuitive and impossible to teach. Using actual unfinished notes as examples, the authors illustrate options for composing, reviewing, and working fieldnotes into finished texts. They discuss different organizational and descriptive strategies and show how transforming direct observations into vivid descriptions results not simply from good memory but from learning to envision scenes as written. A good ethnographer, they demonstrate, must learn to remember dialogue and movement like an actor, to see colors and shapes like a painter, and to sense moods and rhythms like a poet. This new edition reflects the extensive feedback the authors have received from students and instructors since the first edition was published in 1995. As a result, they have updated the race, class, and gender section, created new sections on coding programs and revising first drafts, and provided new examples of working notes. An essential tool for budding social scientists, the second edition of Writing Ethnographic Fieldnotes will be invaluable for a new generation of researchers entering the field.

Electrical engineering educator
Collin, Robert Emanuel was born on October 24, 1928 in Donalda, Alberta, Canada. Son of Knute Emanuel and Hannah (Hanson) Collin. came to the United States, 1958, naturalized, 1964.
Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics, University Saskatchewan, Canada, 1951. Doctor of Philosophy, Imperial College, University London, England, 1954.
Collin was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1990. He worked at the Canadian Armament and Research Development Establishment on guided missile antennas, radomes and radar system evaluations. Collin taught at Case Western Reserve University between 1958 and 1997.
His served stints as the electrical engineering department chair and the interim dean of engineering. He was a distinguished visiting professor at Ohio State University and was a visiting professor at universities in Brazil, China and Germany. He made significant contributions to the field of microwaves.
He is widely known for his textbooks on electromagnetic waves, microwave engineering and antennas. He was a life fellow of the IEEE.
