Everyone, in today's society, is struggling with this dominant and imposing thing called the physical universe and strives toward a higher understanding of its inner workings, and yet most books present the basic concepts with so much complexity and filled with so many mathematical equations that the general public has given up on the subject and perforce has decided to retire to the sideline to be a spectator. In other words, his hope has been dashed aside and his dream of a higher understanding has not been fulfilled in any of the books. The present work is the culmination of many years of study, observation, and pondering on the dilemmas and enigmas of the physical universe and their origin and the resultant understandings that was extracted from this sophisticated and at times incomprehensible arena. Within the confines of this book, one is given a chance for the first time to take an in-depth look and inspect first-hand, the code of one of the most enigmatic universe that has ever been constructed. Its dominance and imposing characteristics in all aspects of our existence is truly remarkable. The basics are laid in simple terms and clear explanations express the powerful principles lucidly and dynamically, providing an unforgettable impression in the reader's mind. Rather than looking into the complicated mathematical equations for solutions, Man's long search for answers to the riddles of the technical world will finally be amply rewarded through the pages of this book. By avoiding undue complexities, the reader will achieve simplicity of thought and will be actually traveling in the direction of "the actual why" and thus be able to understand how to crack the code of anyuniverse. It is an interestingly uncommon book written primarily for the technical as well as the non-technical man. It is intended to serve several classes of our society a) The technically versed individuals, b) The interested but non-technical individuals, c) The professional scientists. This book will surely serve also an important class of our society-the technical inventors who is looking for inspirations and new ideas to imbue him with enough understanding to finalize and materialize his thoughts into reality. It is also written for the average man who may or may not be technically versed and yet desires to learn about the universe at large, or the technical world in his immediate surroundings. It is intended to lift the aura of "black magic" surrounding the world of sciences, to enlighten and demystify the subject of sciences in the minds of ordinary individuals. The broad importance of this work could be summed up as a totally new approach to understanding our scientific world through the use of newly discovered fundamentals (missing in all technical books), which add a tremendous amount of simplicity and clarity to very complex problems. This is a new approach unmatched in any extant text today. The discovery of these fundamentals has had a huge impact on our current world and has truly made our scientific arena a bright beacon of hope with a renewed interest in understanding our physical universe. This work has created a "unified theory "about the two distinct concepts: physical and thought universe. Finally, this work paves the way for the scientist as well as the non-technical individual to formulate and develop the code that starts to crack open the "Material or PhysicalUniverse" and ends up with the key to the kingdom of the "Thought Universe."

The book introduces concepts on a wide range of materials and has several advantages over existing texts, including: 1. The presentation of a series of scientific postulates and laws of RF and microwaves, which lay the foundation for the behavior of waves and their propagation on transmission lines, is unique to this book compared with similar RF and Microwave texts.2. The presentation of classical laws and principles of electricity and magnetism, all inter-related, conceptually and graphically.3. There is a shift of emphasis from rigorous mathematical solutions of Maxwell's equations, and instead has been aptly placed on simple yet fundamental concepts that underlie these equations. This shift of emphasis will promote a deeper understanding of the electronics, particularly at RF/Microwave frequencies.4. Wave propagation in free space and tramsmission lines has been amply treated from a totally new standpoint. Designing RF/Microwave passive circuits using the Smith Chart as covered in this book becomes a systematic and yet pleasant task, which can easily be duplicated by any practitioner in the field.5. New technical terms are precisely defined as they are first introduced, thereby keeping the subject matter in focus and preventing misunderstanding, and 6. Finally the abundant use of graphical illustrations and diagrams brings a great deal of clarity and conceptual understanding, enabling difficult concepts to be understood with ease.The fundamentals of RF and microwave electronics can be mastered visually, through many tested practical examples in the book and in the accompanying CD using Microsoft Excel environment. This book is perfect for RF/microwave newcomers or industry veterans The material is presented lucidly and effectively through worked practical examples using both clear-cut math and vivid illustrations, which help the reader gain practical knowledge in passive circuit design using the Smith Chart.

Learning the subject of electricity and electronics through the study of this workbook is tremendously more beneficial than simply purchasing and reading the book on your own. The workbook provides many advantages including: f) A step by step approach presenting a series of lessons, which are bite-sized pieces of information taken from the book. g) The lessons act like a trail or a "road to knowledge" with a definite beginning and a finite end. This prevents possible frustration of the reader from aimlessly reading the book or getting overwhelmed by the enormity of the subject. h) Solutions to many of the end of chapter quizzes provide an excellent check-out to the reader's comprehension of the material. i) A streamlined approach to learning electricity/electronics, which takes irrelevant materials off the direct path of achieving the final goal of total comprehension. j) Author's numerous comments, exercises and summary adds clarity and understanding and brings simplification to a very complicated subject.

The subject of waves particularly, electronic waves, has been piecemealed to a point where every text covers only a small part of the subject and leaves the rest to someone else to develop. At the present moment, there is no coherent and one-stop approach that covers this material from A to Z and presents it in such a way that an average person can wrap his wits around it. There has been a need for such a book for quite some time. Over the last hundred years, the field of electronic waves, initially placed on a firm ground by James Clerk Maxwell, has grown and blossomed magnificently, primarily in the area of applications to match up with the mathematical sophistication with which Maxwell's equations was presented. Today, almost anyone in our highly technological society strives toward a higher understanding of the inner workings of electronic equipment and desires to know the major principles behind this fascinating form of energy called electricity and electronic waves, and yet most electrical books present the basic concepts with so much complexity and filled with so many mathematical equations that the average individual has given up on the subject and perforce has decided to retire to the sideline to be a spectator on the subject. In other words, their hope has been dashed aside and their dream of a higher understanding has not been fulfilled in any of the modern texts on electricity The present work is the culmination of many years of study, observation and pondering on the dilemmas and enigmas of the physical universe in which we live with particular attention to electronic waves.
