DESCRIPTION:
Microwave Theory and Applications Jun 01, 1969 Adam, Stephen F.
Very good - but Graeme This is an excellent book, one of the leading standard texts on the subject. The first edition (Prentice-Hall, 1969) has been a well-used reference of mine for well over 15 years. The major strengths of this book are the chapters on transmission line and waveguide theory, signal analysis, and measurement of scattering parameters - the fundamental operating basis of modern vector network analyzers. Other excellent sections are on the use of the Smith chart and on graphical analysis of microwave systems.However, if you already have the first edition then do NOT waste your money on this one. This second editio. Great Timeless Book IEEE member I have owned this book for 25 years and still use it whenever I have a question on measurement accuracy at microwave frequencies. This book is written to the scientist-engineer applying the scientific method; not to a cook executing the latest recipe in Silicon or BiCmos or GaAs or patch antenna arrays.So many microwave books will lead you to a feeling that you must have expensive software to understand. This is not so and Adam proves it.Adams' unique treatment of measurement error analysis, TWT operation, and rotary vane attenuators is easy to understand and withstands scrutiny. In 1969 or today, great boo
