Introduction to RF Propagation Review by Dale O. Brandt

Outstanding in your field

My rating is insignificant. I have not yet read the book.
Just wanted to share an error with you.

P. 14, Section 2.2 "The Electric Field". The equation is wrong.

It is written as: E = eD
It should be: D = eE

where

D is the electric flux density vector (coulomb / m^2)
e (epsilon) is the permittivity of the medium (farads/meter)
E is the electric field vector (newtons per coulomb (N/C) or volts per meter (V/m) )


Also, on P. 15, TABLE 2.1 the equations for the Electric Field intensity are incorrect.
Their units are wrong...Electric Field units are newtons per coulomb (N/C) or volts per meter (V/m).

For the Infinite line charge: E = (linear charge density (lambda)) / (2*pi*r*e) * r_hat (e = epsilon)
For the Infinite surface charge: E = (surface charge density (sigma)) / (2*e) * r_hat (e = epsilon)
Note: lambda has units of coulombs/meter , sigma has units of coulombs / m^2
