Microwaves101
A free encyclopedia of RF and microwave practice maintained by working engineers, with over 2,000 entries plus calculators and design spreadsheets. Covers transmission lines, waveguides, S-parameters, matching, couplers, filters, phased arrays, materials and measurement from a hardware perspective. It answers the questions that arise when you actually build something.
Antenna Theory: Analysis and Design (4th Edition)
The reference work on antenna analysis and design. Covers radiation integrals and fundamental parameters, dipoles and loops, linear and planar arrays, broadband and aperture antennas, horns, microstrip patches, reflectors, and antenna measurement techniques, with full design equations.
Introduction to Electrodynamics (5th Edition)
The standard junior-level electrodynamics text, now published by Cambridge. Builds Maxwell's equations from electrostatics and magnetostatics, then treats conservation laws, wave propagation in media, potentials and fields, radiation, and relativistic electrodynamics, with computational problems in Mathematica. Nothing else explains why the equations take the form they do with this clarity.
Electromagnetics, Volume 1
Peer-reviewed open textbook for a first university course in engineering electromagnetics, using a transmission-lines-first approach. Covers vector analysis, electrostatics, steady current, magnetostatics, time-varying fields and plane waves; Volume 2 continues into waveguides, antennas and radiation.
