Dr. Sunil Bhooshan graduated from IIT Delhi, and completed his MS and PhD degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA. Dr. Bhooshan has a balanced background of industry and academics. He has worked in Hewlett Packard (now Agilent Technologies) at Santa Rosa, USA, as a Member of Technical Staff. He taught briefly at IIT Kanpur and was a consultant to various companies in India where he helped develop parabolic dish antennas and other microwave components. He has more than seventy research papers published in reputed journals and presented in international conferences and more than twenty-five years of teaching experience. He has written a book published by Oxford University Press: ’Fundamentals of Engineering Electromagnetics’.
The book covers fundamentals and basics of engineering communication theory. It presents right mix of explanation of mathematics (theory) and explanation. The book discusses both analogue communication and digital communication in details. It covers the subject of ‘classical’ engineering communication starting from the very basics of the subject to the beginning of more advanced areas. It also covers all the basic mathematics which is required to read the text. It covers a two semester course as an undergraduate text and some topics in master’s course as well.
