Go Beyond Basic Distributed Circuit AnalysisAn Introduction to Microwave Measurements has been written in a way that is different from many textbooks. As an instructor teaching a master's-level course on microwave measurements, the author recognized that few of today's graduate electrical engineering students are knowledgeable about microwave measu
Detailing the active and passive aspects of microwaves, Microwave Engineering: Concepts and Fundamentals covers everything from wave propagation to reflection and refraction, guided waves, and transmission lines, providing a comprehensive understanding of the underlying principles at the core of microwave engineering. This encyclopedic text not only encompasses nearly all facets of microwave engineering, but also gives all topics—including microwave generation, measurement, and processing—equal emphasis. Packed with illustrations to aid in comprehension, the book: Describes the mathematical theory of waveguides and ferrite devices, devoting an entire chapter to the Smith chart and its applications Discusses different types of microwave components, antennas, tubes, transistors, diodes, and parametric devices Examines various attributes of cavity resonators, semiconductor and RF/microwave devices, and microwave integrated circuits Addresses scattering parameters and their properties, as well as planar structures including striplines and microstrips Considers the limitations of conventional tubes, behavior of charged particles in different fields, and the concept of velocity modulation Based on the author’s own class notes, Microwave Engineering: Concepts and Fundamentals consists of 16 chapters featuring homework problems, references, and numerical examples. PowerPoint® slides and MATLAB®-based solutions are available with qualifying course adoption.
This book presents the basic principles, characteristics and applications of commonly used microwave devices used in the design of microwave systems. The book begins with a brief overview of the field of microwave engineering and then provides a thorough review of two prerequisite topics in electromagnetics, that is, electromagnetic field theory and transmission lines, so essential to know before analysing and designing microwave systems. The book presents the full spectrum of both passive and active microwave components. Hollow pipe waveguides are thoroughly analysed with respect to their field components and other important characteristics such as bandwidth, dispersive nature, various impedances, and attenuation parameters. The basic principles of various types of microwave junctions used for power division, addition, and in measurement systems, such as tees, directional-couplers, circulators, gyrators, etc. are explained, along with their scattering parameters required for the analysis of microwave circuits. The text also presents a comprehensive analytical treatment of microwave tubes in common use, such as klystrons, magnetrons, TWTs, and solid state sources such as Gunn diodes, IMPATT diodes, funnel diodes and PiN diodes, etc. Finally, the book describes the laboratory procedures for measurements of various parameters of circuits working at microwave frequencies. The book contains an instructional framework at the end of each chapter composed of questions, problems, and objective type questions to enable students to gain skills in applying the principles and techniques learned in the text. The book is appropriate for a course in Microwave Engineering at the level of both undergraduate and postgraduate students of Electronics and Communication Engineering.
This book provides a thorough and coherent understanding of the fundamentals of microwave non-destructive evaluation principles. This is achieved by starting with the basic understanding of subjects such as waves, material media, interaction of waves at high frequencies with material media, understanding the fundamentals of reflection, refraction, transmission and wave polarization. All these issues are addressed in a concise manner providing a much needed text on this subject. Each chapter has a set of problems and questions, with solutions and worked examples, thus making the book of great use to those teaching in this area. This book will also be invaluable to all those conducting research in microwave NDE, whether based in an industrial or academic environment.
