The 4th edition of this classic text provides a thorough coverage of RF and microwave engineering concepts, starting from fundamental principles of electrical engineering, with applications to microwave circuits and devices of practical importance. Coverage includes microwave network analysis, impedance matching, directional couplers and hybrids, microwave filters, ferrite devices, noise, nonlinear effects, and the design of microwave oscillators, amplifiers, and mixers. Material on microwave and RF systems includes wireless communications, radar, radiometry, and radiation hazards. A large number of examples and end-of-chapter problems test the reader's understanding of the material. The 4th edition includes new and updated material on systems, noise, active devices and circuits, power waves, transients, RF CMOS circuits, and more.
Unlike many texts, this one supplies sufficient mathematical derivation/development that a practicing engineer can rapidly exploit the results as opposed to the "oh so fun" "This exercise is left to the reader." case. This also helps the folks who have no hope of developing the math any further than the initial stuff common in textbooks--even with Mathematica (et al) for help. In my case, I needed the theoretical math for waveguide cutoff--not too hard. However, if you have some folks with finite element simulations producing questionable results and you need something to "beat them over the head" with because they are way off from theory, it is really helpful to have a whole textbook to use to beat them over the head.
