Key Features

1. Modern Treatment

This treatment of radio frequency and microwave engineering provides the tools for engineers to work with modern radio, radar and sensor systems. Advanced components and design techniques are presented, along with a thoroughly modern treatment of traditional microwave theory and techniques.

2. Well Rounded Radio Frequency and Microwave Engineer

Learning RF and microwave engineering through this book prepares the student and practicing engineer with the skills to engage RF and microwave engineering in the context of the larger system. The engineer will be able to engage in the important tradeoffs between microwave, analog, RF, digital and algorithmic design.

3. Valuable Resource

This book is a valuable resource for the practicing engineer with in-depth analysis of modern microwave components and subsystems. The practicing engineer will be able to develop and refine the techniques required to achieve competitive designs.

4. End of Chapter Exercises

The extensive end-of-chapter exercises emphasize design rather than rote problem solving.

5. Solutions Manual

A detailed solution manual is available to qualified instructors.

6. Examples

A large number of design examples are presented throughout the book. Most form the basis of end of chapter exercises so that the student can solve design problems while referencing a similar chapter example. In many cases complex concepts are presented through worked designs embedded in the main body of the text. These include distributed biasing networks, amplifier design, voltage controlled oscillator design, filter design, and balun design.

7. Design

Design is emphasized throughout the book through end of chapter exercises and chapter examples. Much of design is open-ended with problem specific design decisions, and so many topics are introduced through detailed design derivations. Examples include filter design in Chapter 10 where a bandpass combine filter design spread over 16 pages is used to illustrate the filter design process. Chapter 13 on network synthesis is based entirely on four worked designs.
