Microwave Circuit Design Using Linear and Nonlinear Techniques George D. Vendelin, Anthony M. Pavio and Ulrich L. Rohde This one volume source for the computer optimization of microwave passive and active circuits is a complete introduction to modern microwave engineering using the S-parameter technique. The text presents state-of-the-art linear and nonlinear designs using computer-aided methods popular in the design and manufacture of microwave amplifiers, oscillators, and mixers. Ample and detailed discussion of the latest microwave transistors, circuit design, noise, passive microwave elements, and the incorporation of CAD into microwave integrated circuit (MIC) and monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) technology round out the text. Techniques presented are illustrated with several MMIC designs, which include a wideband amplifier, a low-noise amplifier, and an MMIC mixer 1990 (0 471-60276-0) 757 pp. Fundamentals of Photonics Bahaa E. A. Saleh and Malvin C. Teich This invaluable work provides a detailed introduction to the fascinating and converging disciplines behind photonics. Beginning with a discussion of the four theories of light (ray optics, wave optics, electromagnetic optics, and photon optics), the theory of interaction of light with matter, and the theory of semiconductor materials and their optical properties, the text progresses to a survey of the field’s up-to-the-minute advances. These include a look at Fourier optics and holography, guided wave optics and optical fibers, statistical optics, photonic switching and computing, and more. Providing applications and examples of real systems, the text skillfully balances theory and practice, providing engineers, researchers in fiber optics and communications, and students with an authoritative first look at photonics. 1991 (0 471-83965-5) 700 pp.

An engineer’s guide to solving practical problems in high-frequency and optical spectra "Handbook of Microwave and Optical Components deserves shelf space in all microwave engineers’ libraries and in the libraries of those engineers who wish to understand the capabilities and limitations of optical components in microwave systems and devices." –Microwave Journal In the past two decades, scientists have witnessed a rapid development in high-frequency spectra above the microwave frequency. The Handbook of Microwave and Optical Components is the first resource to provide a compendium of principles and design data, based on these developments, for practicing microwave and optical engineers. Throughout the Handbook, editor Kai Chang and his expert contributors emphasize the practical application of research in constructing components and subsystems. Theoretical discussions and mathematical formulations are given only where necessary; instead, the book focuses on essential principles, methods, design information, and references to help solve problems in high-frequency and optical spectra. Volume Three: Optical Components includes chapters on the following: Optical wave propagation Infrared techniques Optical lenses and resonators Spatial filters and Fourier optics Semiconductor, solid-state, liquid, and gas lasers Among other subjects, Volume Four: Fiber and Electro-Optical Components addresses: Optical fiber transmission technology Optical channel waveguides and waveguide couplers Planar optical waveguides and waveguide lenses Optical modulation: electro-optical, acousto-optical, and magneto-optical devices Optical detectors Liquid crystals As with the first two volumes (devoted to microwave components), microwave and optical engineers, researchers, and graduate students will find the Handbook of Microwave and Optical Components: Volumes 3 and 4 to be an instructive guide to their work and studies.

Controlling the mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and optical properties of materials by advanced fabrication methods (Le. ; Molecular Beam Epitaxy and Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition) has become the new paradigm in our research era. Sensors, being the most vital part of the electronic data processing and decision making machines, stand to gain the most from engineering of the properties of materials. Microfabrication technology has already contributed significantly to the batch fabrication of micro-sensors with higher over all qualities compared to their counterparts that are fabricated using other methods. Batch fabrication of micro-sensors i) results in more uniform properties of co-fabricated devices, ii) nearly eliminates the need for characterization of individual sensors, and iii) eliminates a need for laborious alignment procedures. A less obvious benefit of using microfabrication methods is the possibility of precise control over the dimensions of the sensor. This control enables engineering of some of the properties of the material which affect the sensor's operation. There are many examples of this in the literature. Optical sensors are known to have superior properties over their counterparts that use other (i. e. ; electrostatic and magnetic) means of detection. To name a few, these advantages are: i) immunity to electromagnetic interferences, ii) higher sensitivities compared to the other types of sensors, iii) simplicity of operation principles, and iv) simplicity of overall construction.

By 1990 the wireless revolution had begun. In late 2000, Mike Golio gave the world a significant tool to use in this revolution: The RF and Microwave Handbook. Since then, wireless technology spread across the globe with unprecedented speed, fueled by 3G and 4G mobile technology and the proliferation of wireless LANs. Updated to reflect this tremendous growth, the second edition of this widely embraced, bestselling handbook divides its coverage conveniently into a set of three books, each focused on a particular aspect of the technology. Six new chapters cover WiMAX, broadband cable, bit error ratio (BER) testing, high-power PAs (power amplifiers), heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs), as well as an overview of microwave engineering. Over 100 contributors, with diverse backgrounds in academic, industrial, government, manufacturing, design, and research reflect the breadth and depth of the field. This eclectic mix of contributors ensures that the coverage balances fundamental technical issues with the important business and marketing constraints that define commercial RF and microwave engineering. Focused chapters filled with formulas, charts, graphs, diagrams, and tables make the information easy to locate and apply to practical cases. The new format, three tightly focused volumes, provides not only increased information but also ease of use. You can find the information you need quickly, without wading through material you don’t immediately need, giving you access to the caliber of data you have come to expect in a much more user-friendly format.
