An essential text for both students and professionals, combining
detailed theory with clear practical guidance
This outstanding book explores a large spectrum of topics within
microwave and radio frequency (RF) engineering, encompassing
electromagnetic theory, microwave circuits and components. It
provides thorough descriptions of the most common microwave test
instruments and advises on semiconductor device modelling.
With examples taken from the authors' own experience, this book
also covers:
* network and signal theory;
* electronic technology with guided electromagnetic
propagation;
* microwave circuits such as linear and non-linear circuits,
resonant circuits and cavities, monolithic microwave circuits
(MMICs), wireless architectures and integrated circuits;
* passive microwave components, control components;
* microwave filters and matching networks.
* Simulation files are included in a CD Rom, found inside the
book.
Microwave and RF Engineering presents up-to-date research
and applications at different levels of difficulty, creating a
useful tool for a first approach to the subject as well as for
subsequent in-depth study. It is therefore indispensable reading
for advanced professionals and designers who operate at high
frequencies as well as senior students who are first approaching
the subject.
