Conclusion.The book aims to unravel some of the nature's mysteries by correlating the nature of fields and the transformations in their symmetries. It begins with a brief background on the foundation of symmetry and its meaning in fields such as architecture, mathematics, and physics. A special focus of the book is on the concept of symmetries in electromagnetism and explicit symmetry breaking which generates radiation. Despite the extensive developments of the concept of broken symmetry in different domains of physics, it has yet to be applied within the context of classical electromagnetism and related engineering applications in a broader context. The main audience for the book includes industry specialists and scientists working in the field of antennas and wireless technologies. The book is also highly useful to research scientists working within electromagnetics.Industry specialists and scientists working in the field of antennas and wireless technologies.

He received his PhD from the University of Cambridge and was the CTO of Smantenna Ltd, where he worked on thin film antennas aimed at their integration at the chip level. He got his postdoctoral training at the Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA. Gehan A J Amaratunga has held the 1966 Chair and Professorship in Engineering at the University of Cambridge since 1998. He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering UK, National Academy of Sciences of Sri Lanka, Royal Society of Arts UK and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (formerly the IEE). He has published over 800 archived academic papers and is an inventor on 56 granted patents.Title from PDF title page (viewed on October 5, 2022).
