Microwave Physics and Techniques / Edition 1

by H. Groll, Ivan Nedkov

Overview

Microwave Physics and Techniques discusses the modelling and application of nonlinear microwave circuits and the problems of microwave electrodynamics and applications of magnetic and high Tc superconductor structures. Aspects of advanced methods for the structural investigation of materials and of MW remote sensing are also considered. The dual focus on both HTSC MW device physics and MW excitation in ferrites and magnetic films will foster the interaction of specialists in these different fields.

Editorial Reviews

Discusses the modeling and application of non-linear active circuits and devices, the electrodynamics of microwave magnetic structures and passive devices, recent developments in microwave remote sensing, the physics and microwave application of high-temperature superconductors, and advanced methods to investigate the structure of materials used in microwave applications. Of the invited speakers, 18 were able to present camera-ready copies for publication; their topics include heterostructure varactor diodes for microwave and millimeter wave power generation, the planar model analysis of microwave ferrite junctions, stripline resonators and their application in oscillators, multispectra in random rough-surface scattering, and the methodology and remote-sensing applications of approximate self-affinity. Another 27 poster papers discuss a volume-integrated approach for device design, measuring and simulating intermodulation distortion in microstrip superconducting resonators, the magnetic testing of high- temperature superconductor thin films and passive microwave components, model based decompositions in the polarimetric radar remote sensing of coniferous forests, and other topics.
