High Frequency Techniques: An Introduction to RF and Microwave Design and Computer Simulation (IEEE Press) - Tapa blanda

THIS TEXTBOOK PROVIDES A FUNDAMENTAL APPROACH TO RF AND MICROWAVE ENGINEERING. IT IS UNUSUAL FOR THE THOROUGHNESS WITH WHICH THESE AREAS ARE PRESENTED. THE EFFECT IS THAT THE READER COMES AWAY WITH A DEEP INSIGHT NOT ONLY OF THE DESIGN FORMULATION BUT ANSWERS TO HOW AND WHY THOSE FORMULATIONS WORK. THIS IS ESPECIALLY VALUABLE FOR ENGINEERS WHOSE CAREERS INVOLVE RESEARCH AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, WHEREIN THE APPLICABILITY OF THE APPLIED PRINCIPLES MUST BE UNDERSTOOD.   THE SCOPE OF THIS BOOK EXTENDS FROM TOPICS FOR A FIRST COURSE IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING, IN WHICH IMPEDANCES ARE ANALYZED USING COMPLEX NUMBERS, THROUGH THE INTRODUCTION OF TRANSMISSION LINES THAT ARE ANALYZED USING THE SMITH CHART, AND ON TO GRADUATE LEVEL SUBJECTS, SUCH AS EQUIVALENT CIRCUITS FOR OBSTACLES IN HOLLOW WAVEGUIDES, ANALYZED USING GREEN S FUNCTIONS. THIS BOOK IS A VIRTUAL ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CIRCUIT DESIGN METHODS.   DESPITE THE COMPLEXITY, TOPICS ARE PRESENTED IN A CONVERSATIONAL MANNER FOR EASE OF COMPREHENSION. THE BOOK IS NOT ONLY AN EXCELLENT TEXT AT THE UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE LEVELS, BUT IS AS WELL A DETAILED REFERENCE FOR THE PRACTICING ENGINEER.   CONSIDER HOW WELL INFORMED AN ENGINEER WILL BE WHO HAS BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THESE TOPICS AS TREATED IN HIGH FREQUENCY TECHNIQUES: (IN ORDER OF PRESENTATION)               BRIEF HISTORY OF WIRELESS (RADIO) AND THE MORSE CODE             U.S. RADIO FREQUENCY ALLOCATIONS             INTRODUCTION TO VECTORS             AC ANALYSIS AND WHY COMPLEX NUMBERS AND IMPEDANCE ARE USED             CIRCUIT AND ANTENNA R
