Summary

Summary

Provides a truly modern treatment of microwave design methods and analysis, with emphasis on practical applications. Offers, for the first time, a description of modern monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) design. The contributions of a diversity of experts is integrated by means of a systems framework. The systems use of microwaves is used to define system parameters to be met by the microwave engineer, make clear the impact of design parameters on the user, and explain subsystem and component performance requirements. Chapters are organized by systems, subsystems, components, and measurements. There is description of modern design techniques, including computer-aided design, with examples of actual current designs. Presents current measurement techniques to describe models for the engineer to verify the design; this includes a discussion of errors.

Choice Review

Wolff and Kaul are specialists in their respective fields. The work is divided into four parts. Part 1 surveys basic microwave principles and outlines the parameters that must be met by the microwave engineer. Part 2 examines microwave transmission, control, detection, and generation design techniques and components. Part 3 focuses on measurement techniques. Part 4 develops procedures for integrating the components into receiver and transmitter subsystems. Written for advanced (senior-level) engineering students as well as the practicing engineer in aerospace, electronics, and communications, the book integrates computer-aided design techniques and design examples in the presentation. It is also the first text to describe modern monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) design. Highly recommended for libraries serving engineering undergraduate and graduate students. -I. L. Kosow, emeritus, City University of New York
