Wiley Microstrip Circuits: 2 (Wiley Series in Microwave and Optical Engineering)

Multiconductor Transmission-Line Structures Modal Analysis Techniques J. A. Brand?o Faria This valuable addition to the microwave literature combines a highly accessible presentation with a rigorous treatment of all subjects. A self-contained reference requiring no outside source materials, the book includes topics rarely covered in microwave books, such as generalized modal theory or a perturbation approach to modal analysis. Rather than concentrating on specific devices, the author presents theories and methods applicable to the whole class of multiconductor transmission-line structures. The use of the frequency domain quasi-TEM approach in the presentation and discussion of all topics makes the text highly accessible to students. 1993 (0-471-57443-0) 224 pp. Microwave Devices, Circuits and Their Interaction Charles A. Lee and G. Conrad Dalman Emphasizing both linear and nonlinear characteristics, this text describes special interactions between circuits and devices that produce particular performance capabilities of solid-state microwave amplifiers and oscillators. The text is divided into three parts. The first part consists of five chapters dealing with microwave circuits, their parameters and methods of characterizing them. The second part deals with microwave solid-state devices for amplifiers and oscillators, including Schottky barrier diodes, microwave transistors, IMPATT diodes, and Gunn diodes. The third part covers interactions that occur when solid-state devices are embedded in microwave circuits, primarily large signal effects occurring in amplifiers and oscillators. The text contains a large number of worked out examples. 1993 (0-471-55216-X) 420 pp. From the Inside Flap Microstrip Circuits offers a crucial link between microwave theory and practical aspects of design, fabrication, analysis, and measurement of printed circuits and antennas. Providing a solid introduction that ranges from basic concepts to more sophisticated recent developments, this book enables newcomers to quickly gain the knowledge and insights needed to understand the specialized literature and begin independent research. After a general discussion of microstrip structures, the book presents basic theory including electromagnetics, circuits, and transmission-line theory. This is followed by an extended discussion of specific devices, including microstrip lines, couplers and junctions, and filters and resonators. Two more chapters focus on semiconductor devices implanted on the microstrip structure, and how they may be used in amplifiers, generators, modulators, and control devices. An especially valuable feature of this book is its general survey of mathematical techniques for analyzing microstrip structures. Many of the methods discussed are both new and indispensable for the accurate analysis of radiation and surface waves. Another important feature is the discussion of how broadband operation can be achieved in printed antennas. An extensive bibliography is provided for readers who wish to pursue a more detailed study of the subject. For research and development engineers, students, and teachers in high-frequency electronics, electrical engineering, microwaves, and antennas, this book offers a valuable overview of high-frequency printed circuits as well as a broad based introduction to the technology, from basic principles to practical applications. Computer engineers specializing in high frequency and communications will value the techniques for determining spurious effects at high frequencies in printed boards as well as the presentation of computer-aided design of high-frequency circuits.
