Microwave Filters and Circuits: Contributions from Japan covers ideas and novel circuits used to design microwave filter that have been developed in Japan, as well as network theory into the field of microwave transmission networks. The book discusses the general properties and synthesis of transmission-line networks; transmission-line filters on the image-parameter basis; and experimental results on a class of transmission-line filter constructed only with commensurate TEM lossless transmission lines. The text describes lines constants, approximation problems in transmission-line networks, as well as an analysis of coupled-line networks. The general treatment of multiwire networks and the rational or irrational basic sections in multiwire networks are also considered. The book further tackles data on resonator filters as well as miscellaneous multiwire networks. Microwave engineers and electrical engineers will find the book invaluable.

The products that drive the wireless communication industry, such as cell phones and pagers, employ circuits that operate at radio and microwave frequencies. Following on from a highly successful first edition, the second edition provides readers with a detailed introduction to RF and microwave circuits. Throughout, examples from real-world devices and engineering problems are used to great effect to illustrate circuit concepts. * Takes a top-down approach, describing circuits in the overall context of communication systems. * Presents expanded coverage of waveguides and FT mixers. * Discusses new areas such as oscillators design and digital communication. *An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.

A textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate students introducing microwave filter design and the circuit theory and network synthesis that are necessary to it. A variety of design theories are presented followed by specific examples with numerical simulations of the designs and when possible pictures of real devices. c. Book News Inc.

This authoritative resource presents current practices for the design of RF and microwave filters. This one-stop reference provides readers with essential and practical information in order to design their own filter design software package, ultimately saving time and money. Essential building blocks for each type of filter are presented including network theory, transmission lines, and coupling mechanisms. This book presents a detailed discussion of the Low Pass Filter prototype, which is then extended to other configurations such as high pass, band pass, band stop, diplexers, and multiplexers. Microwave Network Theory and Transmission Line Coupling Mechanisms are presented along with a comprehensive discussion of the characteristics of commonly used transmission lines such as waveguides, Striplines, and Microstrip lines. Numerous design examples are presented to demonstrate an inclusive design methodology.
