Description:

Be better prepared to meet design challenges with the latest design and analysis data available on planar microwave transmission structures—including microstrip lines, slotlines, and coplanar waveguides. Four expert authors offer you today's most comprehensive information on transmission structures used in hybrid and monolithic circuits at microwave and mm-wave frequencies. This completely revised edition of the most authoritative book in the field includes:

• Expanded and updated coverage of coplanar lines, plus an all-new chapter on finlines

• Easy-to-access design formulas and models on printed transmission lines and their discontinuities

• New data on microstrip elements and applications in mobile and wireless communications

• New analytical techniques such as the Finite Element Method, the Transmission Line Matrix Method, and the Segmentation and Boundary Element Method

Featuring nearly 300 line drawings and 900 equations, Microstrip Lines and Slotlines, Second Edition is a must for engineers and managers involved with microwave integrated circuits and wireless communications circuit design. MMIC designers and graduate-level microwave students will also find the book an outstanding reference.
