This is the professional microwave engineer's one-stop reference on microstrip technology. This comprehensive book presents all the practical details on microstrip circuit design and simulation that engineers need for their work in the field. It also offers practitioners a sound understanding of essential microwave network theory. Engineers learn how to build microwave circuits and, for the first time, find a clear explanation of how to build these circuits into a network. The book comprehensively catalogs and explains such simulation techniques as model extraction, network synthesis, and computer-based performance simulation. CD-ROM Included Contains MathCAD scripts that practitioners can use to run all the essential formulas used in microstrip circuit design.
