Rf And Microwave Coupled-Line Circuits

by Rajesh Mongia, J. Bahl

Overview

"Must reading" for every microwave and communications systems engineer, this first-of-its-kind book provides an excellent overview of coupled line fundamentals and explains their applications in designing microwave and millimeter-wave components used in today's personal communication, audio/visual, microwave, radar, satellite communications, and other systems. This unique book provides you with a thorough understanding of stripline, microstrip, monolithic, and coplanar technologies. Emphasizing design, analysis, and modern fabrication techniques and practices, it provides invaluable knowledge and guidance in helping you develop compact and low-cost design solutions and components such as loose and tight couplers, filters, hybrids, transformers, and baluns. Featuring more than 400 design equations, this comprehensive book serves as a consolidated resource of classic and cutting-edge information on coupled structures and will surely prove to be one of the most relied-upon resources for microwave circuit design engineers, researchers, and students.

Editorial Reviews

Primarily intended for designers and research and development specialists, this text attempts to treat the topic of couplers and filters in its entirety. Starting with the fundamental theory of coupled structures, the authors cover the application of theory to the design and analysis of specific components such as couplers, filters, baluns, etc. They emphasize planar transmission lines; the CAD tools available for the design of these structures; use of full-wave analyses; and accurate semiempirical equations for component design, novel structures and configurations, and new applications.
