Summary
Summary
With this book engineers will understand the fundamental theoretical bases of modern microwave measurements. The narrative is firmly based on the principles of swept frequency techniques, though single frequency measurements, for instance of power, are also fully covered. By the use of flowgraph techniques and careful approximations, the author has given physical meaning to the mathematical arguments and has been careful to show the practical and theoretical limitations on measurement accuracy. The book covers a wide range of microwave measurements in the time and frequency domains, including reflectometry, the Smith chart, spectrum analysers, vector and scalar analysers, multiports, power, noise, frequency stability, time domain reflectometry, and a comprehensive account of antenna far and near field measurements. It is particularly recommended for young engineers requiring a good background in microwave measurement principles and will also be a useful reference for more experienced engineers.

Choice Review
Bryant's book examines the various methods of testing and measurements made at microwave frequencies, using modern instruments. The greater part of the text deals with swept frequency measurements, but single frequency measurements are also discussed. Each of the 12 chapters discusses the necessary theory, formulas and procedures for each microwave test or measurement laboratory setup and explains these with the help of flow diagrams. The range of topics includes swept-frequency methods, S-parameters, Smith chart, signal sources, vector and scalor analysers, reflectometers, and various kinds of measurement procedures for power measurement, noise, frequency, time-domain reflectometry, as well as near and far field antenna measurements. A list of references and some unsolved problems are provided at the end of each chapter. Bryant assumes that the reader is familiar with electromagnetic theory, microwave principles, devices, and components. The book will prove useful to the engineers and to upper-division undergraduate or graduate students working in a microwave laboratory. -K. K. Surti, University of New Haven
