Microwave Devices, Circuits and Their Interaction

Divided into three main segments with emphasis on both small and large signal interaction effects as well as linear and nonlinear characteristics. Part One deals with microwave circuits, their parameters and methods of characterizing them. Part Two describes microwave solid-state devices that are usable for amplifiers and oscillators. Lastly, it delves into some of the interactions which occur when solid-state instruments are embedded into microwave circuits. Features a significant amount of worked examples. MICROWAVE CIRCUITS.
