Transmission Lines & Waveguides: Four Terminal Networks, Filters, Theory of Transmission Lines and Waveguides

The book is written for an undergraduate course on the transmission lines and wave guides. It provides comprehensive coverage of four terminal networks, filters, transmission lines and various types of wave guides. The book starts with explaining the symmetrical and asymmetrical four terminal networks which form the basis of filters. Then book provides the detailed discussion of various types of filters. The discussion of composite filters and crystal filter is also included in the book. The book covers the transmission line parameters in detail along with reflection on a line, reflection loss and reflection factor. The chapter on transmission line at radio frequency includes parameters of line at high frequency, standing waves, standing wave ratio, single stub matching, double stub matching and Smith chart. The book covers the various aspects of guided waves between parallel planes. It also provides the discussion of rectangular and circular wave guides. At the end book incorporates the discussion of resonators. Each chapter provides the detailed explanation of the topic, practical examples and variety of solved problems. The explanations are given using very simple and lucid language. All the chapters are arranged in a specific sequence which helps to build the understanding of the subject in a logical fashion. The book explains the philosophy of the subject which makes the understanding of the concepts very clear and makes the subject more interesting.
