<b>Boris Z. Katsenelenbaum</b> studied at the Moscow State University and received a professor diploma in 1965. Since 1954 he has held numerous positions at the URSS Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronics/Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow), the latest that of Chief Scientist. He was also a Professor at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (1962-1985). Professor Katsenelenbaum has written about 150 articles and six books on various problems on high frequency electrodynamics and the diffraction theory. Since 1998 he has been living in Nahariya, Israel.<br />

This first book to develop the laws of formation and propagation of electromagnetic waves from the concept of guided wave optics is all set to become a standard within the field of telecommunications. The author aptly combines classic and novel concepts, thus introducing the fundamental concepts of electromagnetic theory while prompting ways for its application in the investigation and design of modern telecommunication systems, such as antennas, waveguides, and power transmitting lines.<br />
