Microwaves: An Introduction to Microwave Theory and Techniques by A.J. Baden Fuller (Department of Engineering, University of Leicester, Leicester, UK)
This updated and revised 3rd Edition provides an introduction to microwave theory and techniques suitable for use as a textbook by undergraduates or senior technical college students. Recent advances in technology now incorporated into the new edition include microwave circuits and s-parameters, microstrip circuit techniques and microwave monolithic integrated circuit techniques. The contents fall into two main parts. The first consists of a theoretical development of electromagnetic propagation of guided waves starting from Maxwell's equations and the material's properties. It includes a summary of microwave circuit techniques and a discussion of wave propagation in microstrip, rectangular and circular waveguides, conducting media, ferrite media and plasma. The second part consists of a descriptive treatment of microwave active devices, components and measurements. The two halves of the book provide an ideal combination of theory and practice.
