Book Description

ISBN-10: 0471970697 | ISBN-13: 978-0471970699 | Publication Date: April 17, 2000 | Edition: 1

Authored by three renowned experts in microwave engineering, this book describes in detail a number of modern multi-modal techniques for the analysis and design of passive microwave components. It comprehensively covers modal analysis of waveguides and cavities; discusses several multi-mode procedures for the study of both basic and arbitrarily shaped waveguide junctions and finally, describes specific applications such as inductively coupled filters, waveguide couplers, metal insert and dual-mode filters. The book will be of interest to professional engineers and researchers in the microwave engineering field as well as students engaged in research at an advanced level.

Distinctive features of this book include:

* Detailed explanation of several multi-mode analysis techniques for the analysis of waveguide components based on both canonical and arbitrary waveguide profiles

* Measured versus simulated results for a number of specific application examples

* Accompanying software that allows the reader to input their own data thereby demonstrating how the techniques described can be effectively used to develop fast and accurate CAD tools

From the Back Cover

Single mode equivalent network representations have been a key tool for the industrial design and development of a large variety of microwave systems. The reduced dimensions and increased complexity of modern microwave equipment, however, makes the inclusion of the higher order mode interactions essential for the correct industrial design and optimization of all microwave hardware. In this context, the analytical techniques originally exploited to develop single mode networks have recently been extended to produce multi-mode algorithms that can form the basis of fast and accurate Computer Aided Design tools. Furthermore, alternative multi-modal techniques, involving resonant rather than guided modes, have recently been developed for the design of waveguide components of arbitrary shape. This book describes in detail a number of modern multi-modal techniques for the analysis and design of passive microwave components. The authors comprehensively cover modal analysis of waveguides and cavities; discuss several multi-mode procedures for the study of both basic and arbitrarily shaped waveguide junctions and, finally, describe specific applications such as inductively coupled filters, waveguide couplers, metal insert and dual-mode filters. The book will be of interest to professional engineers and researchers in the microwave engineering field as well as students engaged in research at an advanced level. Distinctive features of this book include:
* detailed explanation of several multi-mode analysis techniques for the analysis of waveguide components based on both canonical and arbitrary waveguide profiles
* measured versus simulated results for a number of specific application examples

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally !!!, July 24, 2001

paolo rovelli (Milan, Italy) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Advanced Modal Analysis (Wiley Series in Counseling and Human Development) (Hardcover)

Very good!! finally a book on the state-of-the-art in numerical techniques for passive waveguide components. A lot of original and very efficent numerical techniques are described in detail to compute the modal admittance matrix of both common and arbitrarely shaped waveguide junctions. I found simply fantastic the BI-RME method and the integral equation technique, but I'm not so crazy to try to implement them!! However I think It's very important and instructive to know about these advanced techniques.

To be coherent all over the text, the authors deliberately make an intensive use of the concept of multimodal admittance matrix (GAM), although in some cases working directly with the generalized scattering matrix (GSM) is more simple and efficient.

Even though examples of the developed software are available within the book, only sometimes the authors give enough information about the implementation, so the book may be very difficult for the beginner. Hence I think that a good experience in numerical techniques for electromagnetism is strongly required to really appreciate this work.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BI-RME method is simply fantastic, July 24, 2004

Excelent book. The BI-RME method is simply fantastic... Absolute state-of-the-art stuff presented in a clear way -provided you have a background in electromagnetism and numerical techniques.
