Networks and Devices Using Planar Transmissions Lines / Edition 1

by Franco Di Paolo

Overview

A single text that incorporates all of the theoretical principles and practical aspects of planar transmission line devices - since the early development of striplines, it has been sought by countless microwave engineers, researchers, and students. With the publication of Networks and Devices Using Planar Transmission Lines, the search for that one authoritative resource is over.

This is more than just a handbook, much more than a theoretical treatment. It's the ideal integration of the theory and applications of planar transmission lines and devices. Striplines, microstrips, slot lines, coplanar waveguides and strips, phase shifters, hybrids, and more - the author examines them all. For each type of structure, his treatment is complete and self-contained, including:

Geometric characteristics

Electric and magnetic field lines

Solution techniques for the electromagnetic problem

Quasi-static, coupled modes, and full wave analysis methods

Design equations

Attenuation

Practical considerations

Of particular interest is the author's comprehensive treatment of planar ferrimagnetic devices, such as phase shifters, isolators, and circulators, and three appendices dedicated to the theoretical aspects of ferrimagetism. Five other appendices provide thorough reviews of various theoretical concepts implicit in the body of the work, such as wave theory, the external properties of networks, and resonant circuits.

Editorial Reviews

In this text, Di Paolo (chief research engineer at Telit, Microwave Satellite Communication Division, in Rome) integrates theory and applications of planar transmission lines and devices. The 11 chapters present topics such as fundamental theory of transmission lines, microstrips, striplines, coupled microstrips and striplines, microstrip and stripline devices, slot lines, coplanar waveguides and strips, and phase shifters. The appendices cover solution methods for electrostatic problems; wave equation, waves, and dispersion; diffusion parameters and multiport devices, resonant elements, "Q", and losses; charges, currents, magnetic fields, and forces; the magnetic properties of materials; the electromagnetic field and the ferrite; and symbols, operators definition, and analytical expressions.
