MICROWAVE TECHNIQUES - I

Microwave Techniques 1 explains why classical circuit theory approaches used in electrical engineering are invalid in the high frequency region, based on the relationship between wavelength and the physical length of electronics; It deals in detail with the problems that arise in the design and use of high-frequency equipment that comes into use due to the increasing data and data processing speed needs.
Usage of dB, dBmW and dBW concepts together with satellite equations, reflection and transmission coefficients, standing wave ratio, insertion loss, reflection loss, use of Smith Chart, frequency dependent variation of conjugate impedance behavior of electrical conductors, maximum power transfer and impedance matching, microwave filters , transmission line equations, distributed circuit analysis, scattering matrix and the use of microwave passive elements and microwave measurement techniques. It is aimed for the reader to grasp the subject with many solved examples and end-of-chapter problems distributed throughout the book.
