Product Description
Focusing on the design of microwave circuits and components, this valuable reference offers professionals and students an introduction to the fundamental concepts necessary for real world design. The author successfully introduces Maxwell's equations, wave propagation, network analysis, and design principles as applied to modern microwave engineering. A considerable amount of material in this book is related to the design of specific microwave circuits and components, for both practical and motivational value. It also presents the analysis and logic behind these designs so that the reader can see and understand the process of applying the fundamental concepts to arrive at useful results. The derivations are well laid out and the majority of each chapter's formulas are displayed in a nice tabular format every few pages. This Third Edition offers greatly expanded coverage with new material on: Noise; Nonlinear effects; RF MEMs; transistor power amplifiers; FET mixers; oscillator phase noise; transistor oscillators and frequency multiplier.

 Microwave Engineering August 16, 2008
A friend showed me a copy of this book and after reviewing several chapteres I order my own copy. With so many books available it is hard to find an author who's information and explanation is clear, correct and valuable when working with transmission lines and antennas. This book covers the theory then breaks it down from complicated math models into simplified models for practical use. There are plentiful examples to follow or make clear the ideas. It is an excellent book to further onces knowledge of printed circuit board design or for applications which require the detailed anaylsis.
 Good book June 25, 2008
This is a terrific book on microwave engineering. I bought this book because a professor recommended it, and I'm glad he did. My only complaints are that the book doesn't seem to have as much in depth coverage of mixers and oscillators as I would like (the section on mixers seems especially weak - for a better treatment of mixers you might want to try "The Design of CMOS Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuits" by Thomas Lee).
Lovely. May 10, 2007
Awesome book. Covers all the fundamentals, clearly, without sacrificing the math but keeping the reader alive. If you want to learn about microwave design, work in this field, do research in it, buy this book, it is the standard microwave text for the current generation of engineers.
 Good Microwave Engineering Book January 2, 2007
This serves well as an introductory textbook; however, when one wants to go deeper (which will be necessary in most uses outside of the classroom), the references aren't always comprehensive enough. That being said, this is often where I start.
Great Teaching Text - Ok Reference Text July 12, 2005
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I took a graduate course in Microwaves at ASU taught by a former student of the author for which this was the text. Overall, the book is well written and is an excellent teaching and learning tool. The problems at the end of each chapter are superb. The text provides excellent coverage of practical microwave engineering at an intermediate level.
While coverage of basic EM theory is adequate enough as a refresher for someone who has seen the material, for a good introductory text, I would recommend the late John Kraus' classic Electromagnetics, or Field and Wave Electromagnetics by David Cheng.
As a reference for practicing engineers it leaves a little something to be desired, in that many of the real nuggets of insight are glossed over in the text and developed in the problems at the end of each chapter. Hence - the book is great as a tool for learning, but not always as a ready reference for someone who has not worked the problems at the end of each chapter.
That said, the book is very practical and clear, and will be of value to students and practicing engineers alike.
