The classical electromagnetism described by the Maxwell equationsconstitutes a fundamental law in contemporary physics. With the adventof sophisticated new materials, the principles are still active invarious applied areas in today’s advanced communication technologies.

Referring to modern materials, this book is written with conciseintroductory arguments for the physics of electromagnetism, coveringbasic topics including the nature of space-time-dependent radiations inmodern applications. However, noted that the classical concept failsgenerally at optical frequencies, the limit is a significant obstaclefor further technical developments.

Following basic discussions ofelectromagnetism in a modernized approach, this book provides readerswith an overview of current problems in high-frequency physics.
