This second edition emphasizes the fundamental concepts of Maxwell's equations, wave propagation, network analysis and design principles as applied to modern microwave engineering. Applications of microwave engineering are also changing, with increasing emphasis on commercial use of microwave technology for personal communications systems, wireless local area networks, millimeter wave collision avoidance vehicle radars, radio frequency (RF) identification tagging, direct broadcast satellite television, and many other systems related to the information infrastructure.

Customer Rating: Summary: Very good experience Comment: I got an email from seller one day after I placed the order and received the book within one week. It is in the condition as described. I like the seller. Customer Rating: Summary: Best book for Microwave Engineering Comment: I believe this is excellent book for beginners in Microwave Engineering and it also envelopes almost all the topics in Under-Graduate and Graduate courses related to Microwave Engineering!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Microwave Engineering Comment: A friend showed me a copy of this book and after reviewing several chapteres I order my own copy. With so many books available it is hard to find an author who's information and explanation is clear, correct and valuable when working with transmission lines and antennas. This book covers the theory then breaks it down from complicated math models into simplified models for practical use. There are plentiful examples to follow or make clear the ideas. It is an excellent book to further onces knowledge of printed circuit board design or for applications which require the detailed anaylsis. Customer Rating: Summary: Good book Comment: This is a terrific book on microwave engineering. I bought this book because a professor recommended it, and I'm glad he did. My only complaints are that the book doesn't seem to have as much in depth coverage of mixers and oscillators as I would like (the section on mixers seems especially weak - for a better treatment of mixers you might want to try "The Design of CMOS Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuits" by Thomas Lee). Customer Rating: Summary: Good Microwave Engineering Book Comment: This serves well as an introductory textbook; however, when one wants to go deeper (which will be necessary in most uses outside of the classroom), the references aren't always comprehensive enough. That being said, this is often where I start.
