A single-source reference on the modern microwave engineering and practical applications of microstrip circuit technology, this invaluable book explains how microstrip circuits are built and provides in-depth coverage of computer-aided simulation and underlying theories. Including over 1,200 equations and more than 300 illustrations, it places special emphasis on working examples and full-wave electromagnetic simulations. You find detailed discussions on such critical topics as microwave passive lumped circuits, filter design, and calibration techniques. The book gives you a thorough understanding of filter networks by explaining the key role of network synthesis. From printed circuits and microstrip patch antennas, to microstrip coupled lines and microstrip filters, this comprehensive resource offers you a clear understanding of the design details you need for your work in the field. Moreover, the book thoroughly explains how computer-aided simulation technology works, so you can properly set up and speed through any one of the many simulation techniques covered. You also find a concise tutorial on basic theoretical concepts, including Maxwell's equations, transmission lines, scattering parameters, matching, and filter synthesis.
