Beschreibung:
"Theories are connected to the represented (HF heating) experiments, which enables readers to grasp and appreciate the study. HF heating experiments are active research area, this book provides theoretical basis for the understanding of the experimental observations and for preparing future experiments. Home-work problems contain not only physics questions, but also engineering questions which have practical applications and are attractive to engineers as well"--
