Modelling and computations in electromagnetics is a quite fast-growing research area. The recent interest in this field is caused by the increased demand for designing complex microwave components, modeling electromagnetic materials, and rapid increase in computational power for calculation of complex electromagnetic problems. The first part of this book is devoted to the advances in the analysis techniques such as method of moments, finite-difference time- domain method, boundary perturbation theory, Fourier analysis, mode-matching method, and analysis based on circuit theory. These techniques are considered with regard to several challenging technological applications such as those related to electrically large devices, scattering in layered structures, photonic crystals, and artificial materials. The second part of the book deals with waveguides, transmission lines and transitions. This includes microstrip lines (MSL), slot waveguides, substrate integrated waveguides (SIW), vertical transmission lines in multilayer media as well as MSL to SIW and MSL to slot line transitions.

This book examines the new and important technology of asymmetric passive components for miniaturized microwave passive circuits. The asymmetric design methods and ideas set forth by the author are groundbreaking and have not been treated in previous works. Readers discover how these design methods reduce the circuit size of microwave integrated circuits and are also critical to reducing the cost of equipment such as cellular phones, radars, antennas, automobiles, and robots. An introductory chapter on the history of asymmetric passive components, which began with asymmetric ring hybrids first described by the author, sets the background for the book. It lays a solid foundation with a chapter examining microwave circuit parameters such as scattering, ABCD, impedance, admittance, and image. A valuable feature of this chapter is a conversion table between the various circuit matrices characterizing two-port networks terminated in arbitrary impedances. The correct conversion has also never been treated in previous works. Next, the author sets forth a thorough treatment of asymmetric passive component design, which covers the basic and indispensable elements for integration with other active or passive devices, including: * Asymmetric ring hybrids * Asymmetric branch-line hybrids * Asymmetric three-port power dividers and N-way power dividers * Asymmetric ring hybrid phase shifters and attenuators * Asymmetric ring filters and asymmetric impedance transformers With its focus on the principles of circuit element design, this is a must-have graduate-level textbook for students in microwave engineering, as well as a reference for design engineers who want to learn the new and powerful design method for asymmetric passive components.

Part of a four-volume compendium of principles and design data for practising microwave and optical engineers, this volume covers microwave components and optical components, with most of the design results presented in graphic and tabular form.

This book collects much of Helszajn's work (formerly, Heriot-Watt University) and includes closed-form and finite element calculations of the propagation constant, attenuation and mode spectrum for the ridge waveguide, and power-current and power-voltage definitions of impedance. Circular polarization is also treated. Propagation properties where the waveguide has a dielectric filler are calculated. The treatment is then extended to more complex designs, including quadruple ridge waveguides with and without a gyromagnetic filler. The text includes descriptions of many of the passive devices which can be realized using these waveguides, including isolators, phase shifters, and circulators. c. Book News Inc.

The growth in RF and wireless/mobile computing devices that operate at microwave frequencies has resulted in explosive demand for integrated circuits capable of operating at such frequencies in order to accomplish functions like frequency division, phase shifting, attenuation, and isolators and circulators for antennas. This book is an introduction to such ICs, combining theory and practical applications of those devices. In addition to this combined theory and application approach, the author discusses the critical importance of differing fabrication materials on the performance of ICs at different frequencies. This is an area often overlooked when choosing ICs for RF and microwave applications, yet it can be a crucial factor in how an IC performs in a given application. - Gives reader a solid background in an increasingly important area of circuit design - Emphasis on combination of theoretical discussions with practical application examples - In-depth discussion of critical, but often overlooked topic of different fabrication material performances at varying frequencies

Abstract: With the development of modern wireless communication and radar system, microstrip antenna arrays are widely used and developed. As two key components for antenna feeding network, couplers and phase shifters draw much attention in the past decades. In this thesis, the design for multi-section coupler, patch-based coupler and multi-section phase shifter are thoroughly studied and validated experimentally. Since different input impedances and powers are always required for the antenna arrays, the couplers with different power outputs and impedance transforming are in great demand. As the first contribution of this thesis, a multi-section coupler with arbitrary power ratio and impedance transformation is proposed and thoroughly analyzed so that a wider bandwidth can be achieved. The method of replacing the connecting branches with a "uni-box" largely reduces the complexity of the analysis and provides the generalized equations for the multi-section coupler. Meanwhile, in order to avoid the mutual coupling of the branches, a patch based coupler with the same properties is also designed and discussed. A guideline for designing the generalized patch based structure is introduced as well. For the second contribution of the thesis, a multi-section π-based phase shifter is designed and analyzed. In order to avoid the phase oscillation around the center frequency, the relation of the impedances for the short-ended stubs and the phase shift is fully analyzed. The proposed structure can then be extended to a higher order one to achieve a higher phase difference and a wider bandwidth. The research presented in this thesis proposes an efficient method of analysing the multi-section coupler and phase shifter, and provides a guideline for designing the asymmetric patch based structure, which can be applied in the wideband and high frequency antenna feeding network design.
