A concise introduction to waveguides, Microwave and Optical Waveguides presents the fundamental mathematical and physical principles that underpin the operation of waveguides. The book provides a unified treatment of various waveguides, as used in different wavelength regions throughout the spectrum. It emphasizes the features common to each type without over-emphasizing their differences. Each chapter examines different types of waveguides, from the most simple (transmission lines) to circular dielectric waveguides. Chapters also include detailed examples and a set of problems. The book contains references for further reading. Assuming background knowledge of basic electromagnetic theory as well as some mathematical fundamentals, Microwave and Optical Waveguides ensures that both students and engineers become familiar with the important concepts and techniques irrespective of the frequency band or terminology used for a particular waveguide.

Up-to-date coverage of the analysis and applications of coplanar waveguides to microwave circuits and antennas The unique feature of coplanar waveguides, as opposed to more conventional waveguides, is their uniplanar construction, in which all of the conductors are aligned on the same side of the substrate. This feature simplifies manufacturing and allows faster and less expensive characterization using on-wafer techniques. Coplanar Waveguide Circuits, Components, and Systems is an engineer's complete resource, collecting all of the available data on the subject. Rainee Simons thoroughly discusses propagation parameters for conventional coplanar waveguides and includes valuable details such as the derivation of the fundamental equations, physical explanations, and numerical examples. Coverage also includes: Discontinuities and circuit elements Transitions to other transmission media Directional couplers, hybrids, and magic T Microelectromechanical systems based switches and phase shifters Tunable devices using ferroelectric materials Photonic bandgap structures Printed circuit antennas

This book deals with microwave and optical transmission from the unique viewpoint of Maxwell's theory, and via the consistent theoretical framework of coupled modes (ideal modes, local modes and super modes). A feature of the book is its particular emphasis on the usefulness of the coupled mode theory. The author has carried out to the end the solution of a diversity of waveguide problems, such as curved waveguides, tapered waveguides, tolerances of imperfections for a microwave and optical transmission line, etc. Another feature reflected in this volume is its presentation of adequate background material required for understanding the theory, which often appears complicated and difficult in the literature. The book begins with phenomenological theories of coupled modes, with the intention to familiarize the reader in a simple way with the basic concepts relevant to a further development of the coupled mode theory. Solutions of the coupled mode equations with constant or variable coefficients and orthogonal expansions in waveguides, whose combination represents a complete solution of Maxwell's equations, are treated in mathematical detail, with sufficient physical description to elucidate the underlying principles.

This comprehensive resource provides a thorough introduction to the principles of electronic circuits operating in the radio, microwave, and millimeter-wave frequency ranges. The book highlights the fundamental physical laws of classical electromagnetics using a foundation of Maxwell’s equations to give insight into the operating principles of circuit elements of all kinds, from lumped elements to transmission lines, waveguides, optical fibers, and quasi-optical structures. Standard passive system components like filters, splitters, couplers, hybrids, baluns, and antennas are explained to acclimate the reader to considering multiple technological solutions for common design problems. A basic overview of active circuit designs, such as amplifiers, mixers, and multipliers is also provided, along with discussion of the performance characteristics of electronic systems, including noise and linearity. Emphasis is placed on visualization and understanding of how and why electronic circuits of all frequencies are built and operate the way they do. Readers learn how to match an amplifier for optimum noise performance over the broadest bandwidth with the fewest number of elements and how to visualize the coupling of various modes in a mixed waveguide-type structure and avoid resonances due to trapped, higher-order modes. The book provides the tools needed to design and optimize a launcher from microstrip into waveguide, and whether the best characteristics can be achieved by incorporating matching elements in the microstrip section, the waveguide section, or both. Packed with references and examples, readers learn not only how to do the math but what the math means.

Although the theory and principles of optical waveguides have been established for more than a century, the technologies have only been realized in recent decades. Optical Waveguides: From Theory to Applied Technologies combines the most relevant aspects of waveguide theory with the study of current detailed waveguiding technologies, in particular, photonic devices, telecommunication applications, and biomedical optics. With self-contained chapters written by well-known specialists, the book features both fundamentals and applications. The first three chapters examine the theoretical foundations and bases of planar optical waveguides as well as critical optical properties such as birefringence and nonlinear optical phenomena. The next several chapters focus on contemporary waveguiding technologies that include photonic devices and telecommunications. The book concludes with discussions on additional technological applications, including biomedical optical waveguides and the potential of neutron waveguides. As optical waveguides play an increasing part in modern technology, photonics will become to the 21st century what electronics were to the 20th century. Offering both novel insights for experienced professionals and introductory material for novices, this book facilitates a better understanding of the new information era—the photonics century.
