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.
