This book addresses microwave researchers, engineers, and Master''s and Ph.D. students. It follows the idea of the first Edition to educate the readers on fundamental electromagnetics and show how this brilliant theory is used in developing modern multi-physics microwave and terahertz hardware.

The first three chapters discuss the main ideas and methods of electromagnetism, explained in a manner that is clear for readers who have had some initial knowledge of electromagnetism. Chapters 4 and 5 are on transmission lines. The first text is on the integrated ones for digital applications, which have been working since DC up to several tens or hundreds of gigahertz. The next chapter is on the waveguides for terahertz frequencies. In this book, the space-modulated signals application, compared to the 1st Edition, is considered using the example of a novel predicate variable logic processor designed and verified in an FPGA environment (Chapter 6). This idea, born initially in microwaves, allowed an eight-logic-style re-configurable on-the-fly processor. Chapters 7–9 discuss microwaves in heating liquids and the initiation of rapid chemical reactions in novel miniature quasi-TEM wave reactors. Chapter 10 involves results on trapping and transporting ultra-cold matter using combined techniques. The new results described here are on numerical simulation of trapping of ultra-cold atoms in random 3D optical potentials using the Anderson effect.

In conclusion, the author hopes this book will strengthen the young generation''s interest in microwave field theory. He believes that advanced electromagnetism, combined with other physics branches, will play a crucial role in developing new, improved components and systems, and this book is a stepping-stone example in that journey.

This text, directed to the microwave engineers and Master and PhD students, is on the use of electromagnetics to the development and design of advanced integrated components distinguished by their extended field of applications. The results of hundreds of authors scattered in numerous journals and conference proceedings are carefully reviewed and classed. 

Several chapters are to refresh the knowledge of readers in advanced electromagnetics. New techniques are represented by compact electromagnetic–quantum equations which can be used in modeling of microwave-quantum integrated circuits of future In addition, a topological method to the boundary value problem analysis is considered with the results and examples. 

One extended chapter is for the development and design of integrated components for extended bandwidth applications, and the technology and electromagnetic issues of silicon integrated transmission lines, transitions, filters, power dividers, directional couplers, etc are considered. Novel prospective interconnects based on different physical effects are reviewed as well. 

The ideas of topology is applicable to the electromagnetic signaling and computing, when the vector field maps can carry discrete information, and this area and the results in topological signaling obtained by different authors are analyzed, including the recently designed predicate logic processor operating spatially represented signal units. 

The book is rich of practical examples, illustrations, and references and useful for the specialists working at the edge of contemporary technology and electromagnetics.
