DESCRIPTION:
An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.
Explains the mathematics of traveling waves starting from the one-dimensional wave equation. After a review of Maxwell's equations, it deals with complex phasor-vectors, power and energy in the fields, and the loss tangent for microwave materials. Discusses coupled lines, time domain reflectometer concepts, sinusoidal steady state response, and the Smith Chart. . From the Publisher This lavishly illustrated self-study text/reference provides solutions for microwave transmission line problems. Contains 126 tested examples ranging from simple exercises to descriptive design procedures
This book is written for the experienced engineer. I thought this book was not good as an introductory book to transmission lines. It focussed too much on mathematical derivations rather than on what a transmission line was. Illustrations were sometimes hard to understand. On a positive note, the book does provide a good reference for an expe
