Completely updated and featuring 20% new material, this microwave handbook presents the state-of-the-art in microwave materials and fabrication techniques for engineers involved in circuit design. The only book devoted exclusively to the subject, it contains current information you need to understand microwave laminates and to package microwave circuit designs. Written in an easy to understand language with everyday examples that both technical and non-technical people can comprehend, it includes comprehensive coverage of such topics as materials, metals, bonding techniques, etching procedures, and fabrication techniques. Ideal for microwave circuit designers, technical managers, and students in materials and fabrication techniques, this book helps you make your microwave designs perform as well on the bench as they do on paper.
