Elements of Microwave Engineering (Paperback)

This comprehensive text stresses the principles that form the foundation of microwave engineering. Starting with Maxwell's mathematical formulation of the basic laws of electricity and magnetism, it treats microwave transmission lines, waveguides and resonators, passive microwave components, periodic structures, and microwave electron tubes.;The discussion is fortified with a review of the essential mathematics and solutions of vector and scalar wave equations. This, together with a detailed coverage of the electromagnetic theory, enables the student to comprehend the theoretical aspects with comparative ease. A distinguishing feature is a study on microwave measurements which would be invaluable also to those engaged in research and development.;The problem at the end of chapters, tables, and numerous illustrations add to the value of the text which presupposes only the knowledge of mathematics acquired by the engineering undergraduate during the course of his study or by the graduate in physics.
