Advanced Microwave Filter Design (Hardcover)

Microwave technology has been used extensively by the telecommunications industry since the early 1950s, and microwave filters now occupy a prominent place in modern communication systems. This book deals with the modern design techniques of a wide variety of microwave filters. It incorporates theory and complete design examples with experimental results of filters designed over a frequency range extending from 1 GHz to 35 GHz. Divided into three main parts the text focuses on: the fundamental principles that can be applied with ease to the synthesis and the design of microwave filters; introduces concepts for non-minimum-phase type filters, such as multi-conductor transmission line circuits and evanescent-mode straight wave-guide filters; deals with MMIC filters using a powerful method called the real frequency technique; and incorporates microwave theory with practical design examples. Throughout the text the authors' recent research and teaching is applied to present a coherent and practical treatment of the subject. It is suitable for professional electronic engineers, microwave design engineers, researchers and advanced electronics students.
