Editorial Review:

Focusing on the design of microwave circuits and components, this valuable reference offers professionals and students an introduction to the fundamental concepts necessary for real world design. The author successfully introduces Maxwell's equations, wave propagation, network analysis, and design principles as applied to modern microwave engineering. A considerable amount of material in this book is related to the design of specific microwave circuits and components, for both practical and motivational value. It also presents the analysis and logic behind these designs so that the reader can see and understand the process of applying the fundamental concepts to arrive at useful results.
The derivations are well laid out and the majority of each chapter's formulas are displayed in a nice tabular format every few pages. This Third Edition offers expanded coverage with new material on: Noise; Nonlinear effects; RF MEMs; transistor power amplifiers; FET mixers; oscillator phase noise; transistor oscillators and frequency multiplier.

A must have for all RF design engineers! 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

This book is the bible of Microwave Filters, Impedance-Matching Networks and Coupling Structures. The novice can jump right in and start designing structures. The experienced engineer will find in-depth study and insight into many rf structures.

A must for RF filter designers 5 out of 5 stars.

A wealth of information covering a wide variety of coupling methods and structures. Effective use of examples and tables makes this the best text on the subject I have read.

Graduate Student doing research in Microwave Engineering 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This book is excellent. I use this book regularly in my research in Microwave Engineering. I have been able to develop very good impedance matching networks using the techniques put forth in this book. The presentation is excellent and very comprehensive. Despite being over 20 years old this book contains information that will help any RF Microwave Engineer. I feel that all RF Microwave Engineers should have this book in thier personal library. My advisor and the other graduate students refer to this book as "MYJ, the bible."

I would like to see much more description on how coupled microstrip resonators can be realized. I guess Gupta's book is good for that tho.

IN SUMMARY EXCELLENT MUST HAVE BOOK.

Very good introduction to active microwave circuit design. 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I used this book at Texas A&M University in a senior undergraduate course taught by the author himself. This book is a great book for quick reference in the field and for those who want to learn about active microwave circuits. The book is very practical and does not invlove itself with laborious proofs and theories. Topics such as active mixers, VCOs, amplifiers, attenuators, and much much more are covered in this text....

Best available introduction to microwave circuits 5 out of 5 stars.

Several years ago, I was working in a GaAs foundry here in the US. A brand-new intern was hired who had no experience in RF/microwave circuits. He was struggling for two weeks getting through a stack of books his boss lent to him (Pozar, Vendelin, etc.). Then I lent him this book.

After barely an hour, he was euphoric. At last he had found the book he was looking for. "He starts out assuming you know absolutely nothing!" he told me.

That's the strength of this author. He does an excellent job of explaining microwaves and high frequency solid state devices, covering advanced material in an easily understood style. The book is complete and self-contained, yet surprisingly concise and definitely not wordy. And unlike all the other authors, he really does assume the reader knows absolutely nothing about microwave circuits.

Editorial Review:

Focuses on the basic operating principles and the techniques used to incorporate the devices into circuit applications. Part one reviews fundamental principles in transmission lines and circuits as well as semiconductor physics. Two-terminal solid-state devices, circuits and applications are covered in the second section. Part three discusses three-terminal solid-state devices, circuits and applications. Introduces noise figures and system parameters for receiver design. Includes numerous examples and problems.

bible for transmission line design 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 10 people found this review helpful.

a comprehensive collection and reference of materials concerning microwave transmission line. It is actually a long standing best seller from the premier publisher Artech House.

If your looking for derivations - this is the wrong book 3 out of 5 stars.

If your looking for derivations - this is the wrong book for you
There is also a shortage analysis techniques.

This book is packed with quick formula and would might be quite useful as implied by the "design handbook" name. Some of the later chapters cover some interesting details but could use more discussion which is quite brief throughout the text. See contents.

Editorial Review:

Refers to designing transmission lines and designing with transmission lines. DLC: 1. Strip transmission lines.
