About the BookAbout the AuthorTable of Contents

Microwave Engineering: Fundamentals, Design and Applications emphasises the basic concepts of microwave engineering, design techniques and applications of microwave engineering in a markedly different way. This inclusive approach covers the undergraduate syllabus of almost all Indian institutions where microwave engineering is taught and to some extent a part of the postgraduate curriculum too. The student-friendly nature of the book is strengthened by:

• CAD solutions with standard simulators used for optimal design of matching networks and filters,

• an exclusive chapter on Waveguides and Resonators,

• simulation based design of microwave oscillators and amplifiers,

• basics of microwave measurement techniques and fundamentals of spectrum analyser and network analyser,

• a chapter on Radar Principle and Systems,

• concise coverage of EMI-EMC and microwave antennae,

• Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools and 3D electromagnetic field simulators used to solve a number of design problems,

• use of MATLAB in generating characteristic curves and solving problems,

• coverage of an emerging topic of microwave engineering—metamaterials,

• review questions that help in self-assessment, and

• ‘recapitulation’ that serves to reinforce the fundamentals contained in the chapter. For additional material, please visit http://www.universitiespress.com/subalkar/mwe
