Synopsis

Microwave Solid State Circuit Design Edited by Inder Bahl and Prakash Bhartia This sound introduction to microwave solid state circuit design emphasizes devices with current and potential future applications. It provides step-by-step design procedures which help the reader to sharpen design skills; covers the complete spectrum of the most widely used microwave solid state circuits; and includes problem sets, list of acronyms and symbols, and extensive references. A team of specialists cover transmission lines, resonators, hybrids and couplers, active and passive devices, microwave control circuits, computer-aided design, microwave optic, acoustic and magnetostatic circuits, and more. 1988 (0 471-83189-1) 914 pp. Numerical Techniques for Microwave and Millimeter Wave Passive Structures Edited by Tatsuo Itoh The most comprehensive work on a number of practical numerical methods for analyzing passive structures in microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits. The introduction presents a brief comparison of the various numerical methods and how they may be integrated into computer-aided-design programs so the reader can make an appropriate choice. Chapters following present step-by-step, detailed descriptions of the methods, each chapter being written by the utmost authority on the subject. Chapters provide illustrative examples, and are written so that the reader can write his own computer program based on the method (some chapters include sample computer programs). 1989 (0 471-62563-9) 707 pp.

He earned his BS degree from the National Taiwan University, MS degree from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and PhD degree from the University of Michigan in 1970, 1972, and 1976, respectively.

From the Inside Flap

The Handbook of Microwave and Optical Components is the most complete treatment available of both microwave and optical engineering principles, and is an excellent compendium for engineers who work in microwave and optical design, as well as engineers in other disciplines who need to understand the capabilities and limitations of microwave and optical systems. The Handbook covers all of the important components in microwave, millimeter wave, submillimeter wave, infrared, and optical frequency spectra. The information given is almost entirely practical in nature, with theoretical discussions and mathematical formulations given only where essential. The Handbook of Microwave and Optical Components provides a wealth of essential principles, design information, and references to help solve problems in high-frequency spectra. Whenever possible, design results are presented in graphic and tabular form. References are given for further study. The information is organized into two major parts in four volumes. Part I, titled "Microwave Components," includes Volumes 1 and 2, respectively, Microwave Passive and Antenna Components and Microwave Solid-State Components. Part II, "Optical Components," is comprised of the third and fourth volumes, Optical Components and Fiber and Electro-Optical Components. Each chapter was written as a self-contained unit, although there is occasionally some overlap of information. This second volume of the Handbook, Microwave Solid-State Components, covers molecular beam epitaxy, mixers and detectors, multipliers and parametric devices, semiconductor control devices, transferred electron devices, Impatt and related transit-time devices, bipolar transistors and monolithic integrated circuits, high-electron mobility transistors, and field-effect transistors. The contributing authors have condensed large amounts of data into readable accounts from their respective areas. Designed for the practicing microwave and optical engineer, this comprehensive volume will also be of considerable value to engineers in other disciplines who wish to understand the capabilities and limitations of microwave and optical systems. It will offer the type of detailed information necessary for use in today’s complex and rapidly changing high-frequency engineering environment, and point the way towards future research and discovery.
