Radiating Nonuniform Transmission-Line Systems and the Partial Element Equivalent Circuit Method (eBook)

Professor Jürgen Nitsch, Otto-von-Guericke-University-Magdeburg, Germany Since 1997, Professor Jürgen Nitsch has taught at the Otto-von-Guericke-University-Magdeburg, on the chair for EMC and Theoretical Electrical Engineering. In 2004 he became an elected IEEE Fellow for Contributions to the Analysis of Complex Systems for Electromagnetic Pulse and High-Power Microwave Applications. Professor Günter Wollenberg, Otto-von-Guericke-University-Magdeburg, Germany Professor Günter Wollenberg has been a professor at Otto-von-Guericke-University-Magdeberg since 1992 and his teaching activities are mainly focused on the fundamentals of electrical engineering, electromagnetic field theory and transmission line theory. Dr. Frank Gronwald, EADS Deutschland GmbH, Germany Dr. Frank Gronwald joined the Chair of Jürgen Nitsch at the Otto-von-Guericke-University-Magdeberg in 1998 where he focussed on Theoretical Electrical Engineering, Electromagnetic Compatibility and Antenna Theory. He obtained the Habilitation Degree for Theoretical Electrical Engineering in 2006. Dr. Gronwald has been with the EADS (European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company) since 2007, where he works on Electromagnetic Compatibility and Antenna Integration for Aircraft Systems. He is a senior member of IEEE and an elected member of Commission E of the International Union of Radio Science (U.R.S.I.).
