The scope of this book extends from topics for a first course in electrical engineering, in which impedances are analyzed using complex numbers, through the introduction of transmission lines that are analyzed using the Smith Chart, and on to graduate level subjects, such as equivalent circuits for obstacles in hollow waveguides, analyzed using Green’s Functions. This book is a virtual encyclopedia of circuit design methods.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDespite the complexity, topics are presented in a conversational manner for ease of comprehension.

Emphasis is placed on fundamental concepts, engineering techniques, and the regular and intelligent use of the computer design tools. This book contains a review of wireless history and engineering fundamentals including complex numbers, alternating-current theory, and the logarithmic basis of decibels. The important topics in microwave design theory are discussed, such as transmission lines, the Smith Chart, and matrix algebra. Computer generated examples are used to provide insight into the basic performance, bandwidth, and manufacturing yield of RF and microwave networks. The author also provides a broad presentation of electromagnetic (EM) field theory tailored to the needs of the microwave and RF engineer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides in-text exercises to emphasize practical technique\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains how design challenges would be attacked in a real engineering environment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes access to a companion site hosting an instructor's manual\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHigh Frequency Technique: An Introduction to RF and Microwave Design and Computer Simulation\u003c\/i\u003e is a reference for RF, microwave, and wireless engineers, and graduate students in electrical and computer engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-IEEE Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989361049829,"sku":"NP9781119244509","price":114.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119244509.jpg?v=1761783812","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/high-frequency-techniques-isbn-9781119244509","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
