Handbook of Microwave and Optical Components

Microwave Circuit Design Using Linear and Nonlinear Techniques George D. Vendelin, Anthony M. Pavio and Ulrich L. Rohde This one volume source for the computer optimization of microwave passive and active circuits is a complete introduction to modern microwave engineering using the S-parameter technique. The text presents state-of-the-art linear and nonlinear designs using computer-aided methods popular in the design and manufacture of microwave amplifiers, oscillators, and mixers. Ample and detailed discussion of the latest microwave transistors, circuit design, noise, passive microwave elements, and the incorporation of CAD into microwave integrated circuit (MIC) and monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) technology round out the text. Techniques presented are illustrated with several MMIC designs, which include a wideband amplifier, a low-noise amplifier, and an MMIC mixer 1990 (0 471-60276-0) 757 pp. Fundamentals of Photonics Bahaa E. A. Saleh and Malvin C. Teich This invaluable work provides a detailed introduction to the fascinating and converging disciplines behind photonics. Beginning with a discussion of the four theories of light (ray optics, wave optics, electromagnetic optics, and photon optics), the theory of interaction of light with matter, and the theory of semiconductor materials and their optical properties, the text progresses to a survey of the field’s up-to-the-minute advances. These include a look at Fourier optics and holography, guided wave optics and optical fibers, statistical optics, photonic switching and computing, and more. Providing applications and examples of real systems, the text skillfully balances theory and practice, providing engineers, researchers in fiber optics and communications, and students with an authoritative first look at photonics. 1991 (0 471-83965-5) 700 pp.

About the editor KAI CHANG is the E-systems Endowed Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Texas A&M University, where he teaches and performs research in microwave devices and circuits. Previously Dr Chang was a section head at TRW, Inc., where he was responsible for millimeter-wave integrated circuit and subsystem development. Prior to this, he was a supervisor at Hughes Aircraft Company, where he was involved in the development of microwave and millimeter-wave circuits, oscillators, and power combiners. He has contributed chapters to a number of books and has published over 100 technical papers on microwave circuits, components, and subsystems. Dr. Chang received the Special Achievement Award from TRW, the Halliburton Research Excellence Award and Distinguished Teaching Award from Texas A&M University 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. Dr. Chang serves as the editor of the Microwave and Optical Technology Letters and the Wiley Series in Microwave and Optical Engineering.
