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 450 equations and more than 200 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.
