Millimeter Wave and Optical Dielectric Integrated Guides and Circuits (Wiley Series in Microwave and Optical Engineering)

Provides systematic, state-of-the-art coverage of the analysis, design, and applications of dielectric integrated guides

This much-needed reference equips electrical engineers, designers, and researchers in the microwave industry with comprehensive, up-to-date information on the theoretical principles and practical applications of dielectric integrated guides and circuits. Bringing together a wealth of important material for the first time, the book features:

• Approximate and rigorous analysis methods, including design formulas that can be readily programmed to generate design data for a wide variety of dielectric guide structures.
• Image, insular image, trapped image and other variant guides; semiconductor and planar optical guides.
• An in-depth examination of different types of dielectric resonators.
• All aspects of non-radiative guides, planar optical guides, and H- and groove guides.
• An up-to-the-minute review of discontinuities and transitions in dielectric guides; passive components; components using semiconductor devices and optical control; plus dielectric and semiconductor guide integrated antennas and arrays.
