Advanced Microwave Filter Design

Microwave technology has been used extensively by the telecommunications industry since the early 1950s, and microwave filters now occupy a prominent place in modern communication systems. This book deals with the modern design techniques of a wide variety of microwave filters. It Incorporates theory and complete design examples with experimental results of filters designed over a frequency range extending from 1 GHz to 35 GHz. Divided into three main parts the text focuses on: The fundamental principles that can be applied with ease to the synthesis and the design of microwave filters. Introduces concepts for non-minimum-phase type filters such as multi-conductor transmission line circuits and evanescent-mode straight wave-guide filters. Deals with MMIC filters using a powerful method called the real frequency technique. Incorporates microwave theory with practical design examples. Throughout the text the authors' recent research and teaching is applied to present a coherent and practical treatment of the subject. Suitable for professional electronic engineers, microwave design engineers, researchers and advanced electronics students.Baher, Hussein is the author of 'Advanced Microwave Filter Design', published 2007 under ISBN 9780470017104 and ISBN 0470017104.
