Reduce your transition design time by 50% for packaging, interconnect, and test fixture applications with Microwave Transition Design. This is the only book to present a unified and systematic procedure for design and characterization of microwave transitions, from basic electromagnetic to mechanical and electrical design aspects. A useful guide for CAD development and measurement de-embedding, Microwave Transition Design provides insight into operating various transmission lines and into viewing antennas as transitions. With 194 equations, 69 figures, and an emphasis on electromagnetic considerations, this reference simplifies transition design for all engineers and students working with electromagnetic theory, antenna design, microwave, millimeter-wave, interconnect, EMC, EMI, and especially microwave measurement and fixturing.
