Did you know the microwave oven was actually invented by mistake? While experimenting with electricity, a scientist noticed the chocolate snack he had in his pocket actually melted. This led to the technology that has made cooking faster, more convenient, and used more than conventional cooking. This book addresses the differences between a standard oven, which uses conduction, and a microwave oven, which uses microwaves, causing food molecules to move, creating heat. The more the molecules move, the hotter the food gets. So, pop in a snack, set the timer, and in a few seconds you’ll be ready to enjoy! This book will allow students to plan and conduct an investigation to determine the effect of placing objects made with different materials in the path of a beam of light.
Pozar's new edition of Microwave Engineering includes more material on active circuits, noise, nonlinear effects, and wireless systems. Chapters on noise and nonlinear distortion, and active devices have been added along with the coverage of noise and more material on intermodulation distortion and related nonlinear effects. On active devices, there's more updated material on bipolar junction and field effect transistors. New and updated material on wireless communications systems, including link budget, link margin, digital modulation methods, and bit error rates is also part of the new edition. Other new material includes a section on transients on transmission lines, the theory of power waves, a discussion of higher order modes and frequency effects for microstrip line, and a discussion of how to determine unloaded.
This textbook presents a unified treatment of theory, analysis and design of microwave devices and circuits. It is designed to address the needs of undergraduate students of electronics and communi-cation engineering for a course in microwave engineering as well as those of the students pursuing M.Sc. courses in electronics science. The main objective is to provide students with a thorough under-standing of microwave devices and circuits, and to acquaint them with some of the methods used in circuit analysis and design. Several types of planar transmission lines such as stripline, microstrip, slot line and a few other structures have been explained. The important concepts of scattering matrix and Smith chart related to design problems have been discussed in detail. The performance and geometry of microwave transistors-both bipolar and field effect-have been analysed. Microwave passive components such as couplers, power dividers, attenuators, phase shifters and circulators have been comprehensively dealt with. Finally, the analysis and design aspects of microwave transistor amplifiers and oscillators are presented using the scattering parameters technique. Numerous solved problems and chapter-end questions are included for practice and reinforcement of the concepts.
Fast, easy, and economical, the recipes in Microwave Cooking for One are ideal for individuals, whether they live alone or share busy modern households. From breakfast through dinner, fresh, delicious meals can be prepared to satisfy personal tastes without wasted food, overheated kitchens, or messy clean-up.Author Marie Smith emphasizes the importance of measured portions, careful timing, and the right utensils when cooking in a microwave. A food scale assures the success of the recipes and is also helpful to those watching their food intake. Inexperienced cooks will be able to cook like professionals with these easy-to-follow recipes. From Soft-Boiled Eggs to Fried Scallops and Shoo-Fly Cake, there's something for everyone, and with over 300 recipes, there are plenty of possibilities for exciting meals. Also, when you begin with a recipe for one, it's easy to double or even triple when you need more to go around.Uniquely practical, Microwave Cooking for One is a guide to a new method of wholesome and efficient cooking.Marie Smith, a former resident of Lakeland, Florida, was an experienced microwave chef who wrote a "Microwave Cooking" column for the Plant City Post. Her frequent attendance at microwave symposiums made her knowledgeable in many areas of microwave cookery and technology.For a sample of the wonderful recipes in this book, try Ms. Smith's recipe for Onion Hamburgers.Onion Hamburger3 oz. lean ground beef1/8 tsp. salt1 tsp. dry bread crumbs1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce1 tsp. minced fresh or frozen oniondash of black pepper1 tbsp. milkMix all ingredients in 1-quart mixing bowl. Shape into 5-inch patty and set aside. Heat 6" browning skillet 2 minutes at 100% power. Place patty in skillet and cover skillet with paper towel. Cook 1:30 minutes at 100% power, turning patty over halfway through cooking time. Let stand 1 minute. Place on plate and serve.
Microwaves can be effectively used in the processing of industrial materials under a wide range of conditions. However, microwave processing is complex and multidisciplinary in nature, and a high degree of technical knowledge is needed to determine how, when, and where the technology can be most profitably utilized. This book assesses the potential of microwave technology for industrial applications, reviews the latest equipment and processing methods, and identifies both the gaps in understanding of microwave processing technology and the promising development opportunities that take advantage of this new technology's unique performance characteristics.
The fundamentals of microwave and wireless communications technology are critical to the telecommunications and data acquisitions fields. Because many of the new developments involve commonly available equipment such as cellular telephones and satellite dishes, technicians as well as engineers must learn the basics of the technology. Microwave and Wireless Communications Technology offers a practical, device-based approach to the study of microwave and wireless communications. Student objectives, numerous questions and problems, and end-of-chapter summaries reinforce the theory in each chapter. Answers to odd-numbered questions are provided in the back of the book. Math is kept to the lowest practical level, and the last section of each chapter is a collection of the key equations laid out for the student. A Windows diskette with supplementary instructor material is available on request with adoption. - Fundamentals of microwave and wireless communications - Written for Electronics Engineering Technician courses
