This book have more
advanced material. Many of the earlier chapters are now slightly shorter
than their counterparts in the seventh edition. This has been done by economizing on
the wording, shortening many sections, or by removing some entirely. In some cases,
deleted topics have been converted to stand-alone articles and moved to the website,

Major changes include the following:
1. The treatment on rectangular waveguides (Chapter 13) has been
expanded, presenting the methodology of two-dimensional boundary value problems
in that context.
2. The coverage of radiation and antennas has been greatly expanded
and now forms the entire Chapter 14.
3. Some 130 new problems have been added throughout.
4. I chose particularly good “classic” problems from the earliest
editions.
5. I have also adopted a new
system in which the approximate level of difficulty is indicated beside each
problem on a three-level scale.( Level 1 problems are Straight forward Problems, Level 2 Problems is conceptually more difficult, and/or may require more work to solve. Level 3 problems is considered either difficult conceptually, or may require extra effort (including possibly the help of a computer) to solve.)

New
Chapters/Topics are added in this book are:
1.
The new chapter on antennas
covers radiation concepts, building on the retarded potential discussion in
Chapter 9.
2.
The discussion focuses on the
dipole antenna, individually and in simple arrays.
3.
The last section covers
elementary transmit-receive systems, again using the dipole as a vehicle.
