Product Description
Grounding is a widespread and serious problem in microwave and Rf engineering, and up until now, there hasn't been a practical, authoritative resource dedicated to the topic. This first-of-its-kind volume offers you a comprehensive understanding of the proper grounding techniques to use when working on your varied microwave circuit and antenna design projects. You learn what problems can occur when grounding design is inadequate, and how to avoid them. The book covers grounding as it pertains to a wide range of critical topics, from multi-conductor and single conductor transmission lines, transitions between different types of transmission lines, and surface mount components such as amplifiers and filters. . . to mixed signal printed circuit boards, active microwave component design, and antennas. Supported with over 174 illustrations and utilizing simple derivations and results from numerical electromagnetic simulations of real components, this single resource provides broad, intuitive know-how that helps you overcome design challenges with speed and confidence.
Customer Reviews
I thought this book was an excellent treatment of a variety of topics relating to RF/microwave grounding. It was very readable and didn't get too bogged down in the mathematical details in all cases -- though the background was there for those interested. In the first couple of chapters the author covers the basics and brings the reader up to speed relatively quickly using the key concepts without going into incredible detail (this is where I usually stop reading some technical books and just refer to them, in this case I read the book in the first two days I owned it).It was particularly good to see examples of the concepts demonstrated through actual commercial circuit implementations. There are some very appropriate examples relating to the grounding of amplifiers and filters.The chapter on transmission line transitions was particularly interesting, I've not seen as wide a treatment of this topic in one place before. The chapter on antennas seemed out of place at first but was quite good.The book won't necessarily answer all of your questions but it may help to provide you with the background and inspiration you need to figure it out for yourself.
