"Plane-Wave Theory of Time-Domain Fields provides a comprehensive framework for the formulation and solution of numerous problems involving the radiation, reception, propagation and scattering of electromagnetic and acoustic waves. Green's function and plane-wave spectrum representations in both the time and frequency domains are systematically derived and effectively applied to the decomposition and analysis of transient and time-harmonic fields. With the publication of this book, probe-corrected near-field measurement techniques, which have previously been confined to the frequency domain have been extended to ultra-wideband, short-pulse antennas and transducers."--BOOK JACKET.
