✦ Synopsis

Prediction, reduction, and measurement of electromagnetic scattering from complex three-dimensional targets remains the primary emphasis of this text. The 2nd edition includes a more extensive introduction that covers the important aspects of stealth technology and the unique tradeoffs involved in stealth design. New topics on computational methods like the finite element method and the finite integration technique are covered, as well as new areas in the application of radar absorbing material and artificial metamaterials.
