ISBN: 9780471455912.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis textbook is an introduction to microwave engineering. The scope of this book extends from topics for a first course in electrical engineering, in which impedances are analyzed using complex numbers, through the introduction of transmission lines that are analyzed using the Smith Chart, and on to graduate level subjects, such as equivalent circuits for obstacles in hollow waveguides, analyzed using Green’s Functions. This book is a virtual encyclopedia of circuit design methods.\nDespite the complexity, topics are presented in a conversational manner for ease of comprehension. The book is not only an excellent text at the undergraduate and graduate levels, but is as well a detailed reference for the practicing engineer.\nConsider how well informed an engineer will be who has become familiar with these topics as treated in High Frequency Techniques: (in order of presentation)\nBrief history of wireless (radio) and the Morse code\nU.S. Radio Frequency Allocations\nIntroduction to vectors\nAC analysis and why complex numbers and impedance are used\nCircuit and antenna reciprocity\nDecibel measure\nMaximum power transfer\nSkin effect\nComputer simulation and optimization of networks\nLC matching of one impedance to another\nCoupled Resonators\nUniform transmission lines for propagation\nVSWR, return Loss and mismatch error\nThe Telegrapher Equations (derived)\nPhase and Group Velocities\nThe Impedance Transformation Equation for lines (derived)\nFanos and Bodes matching limits\nThe Smith Chart (derived)\nSlotted Line impedance measurement\nConstant Q circles on the Smith Chart\nApproximating a transmission line with lumped Ls and Cs\nABCD, Z, Y and Scattering matrix analysis methods for circuits\nStatistical Design and Yield Analysis of products\nElectromagnetic Fields\nGausss Law\nVector Dot Product, Divergence and Curl\nStatic Potential and Gradient\nAmperes Law and Vector Curl\nMaxwells Equations and their visualization\nThe Laplacian\nRectangular, cylindrical and spherical coordinates\nSkin Effect\nThe Wave Equation\nThe Helmholtz Equations\nPlane Propagating Waves\nRayleigh Fading\nCircular (elliptic) Polarization\nPoyntings Theorem\nEM fields on Transmission Lines\nCalculating the impedance of coaxial lines\nCalculating and visualizing the fields in waveguides\nPropagation constants and waveguide modes\nThe Taylor Series Expansion\nFourier Series and Greens Functions\nHigher order modes and how to suppress them\nVector Potential and Retarded Potentials\nWire and aperture antennas\nRadio propagation and path loss\nElectromagnetic computer simulation of structures\nDirectional couplers\nThe Rat Race Hybrid\nEven and Odd Mode Analysis applied to the backward wave coupler\nNetwork analyzer impedance and transmission measurements\nTwo-port Scattering Parameters (s matrix)\nThe Hybrid Ring coupler\nThe Wilkinson power divider\nFilter design: Butterworth, Maximally flat \u0026amp; Tchebyscheff responses\nFilter Q\nDiplexer, Bandpass and Elliptic filters\nRichards Transformation \u0026amp; Kuroda’s Identities\nMumfords transmission line stub filters\nTransistor Amplifier Design: gain, biasing, stability, and conjugate matching\nNoise in systems, noise figure of an amplifier cascade\nAmplifier non-linearity, and spurious free dynamic range\nStatistical Design and Yield Analysis\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45118205198389,"sku":"ByrdShop_0471455911","price":380.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780471455912_e17bf334-d416-4e6d-8246-a100e95083ad.jpg?v=1781227038","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/high-frequency-techniques-an-introduction-to-rf-and-microwave-design-and-computer-simulation-ieee-press-9780471455912","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
