Wireless and Guided Wave Electromagnetics

Acknowledgments

I thank my former undergraduate students at Monash University, especially those who have passed through the course in Level 3 over a number of years and may have had some difficult periods trying to grasp the EM concepts in laboratory practices and theoretical lectures, while still maintaining much interest in and challenging the contents of the lectures. I also thank my colleagues in the Optical Technology Department of the Fixed Network Division of the European Research Center of Huawei Technologies for fruitful discussions, especially on several practical issues related to the conceptual understandings of guided waves, particularly when pushing them into the nonlinear region for ultra–long-reach, non–CD-compensating transmission. ...
