Foundations for Microwave Engineering

This book is unique in the breadth and rigor with which it covers the fundamentals and theory of microwave engineering. The new edition of Collin accommodates the most significant technological development in solid state devices since it was first published in 1966. Changes include material on planar transmission, optical fibers, and dialect waveguides and resonators. The most notable change is the replacement of the now obsolete material on microwave masers in 10 with the treatment of solid state devices, scattering matrix methods of amplifier design, and solid state oscillator circuits and mixers. A Solutions Manual with problem solving software is new to this edition.
