Editorial Reviews

Outlines the theoretical basis for microwave circuit theory with particular emphasis on its similarity to, and difference from, the low frequency counterpart. This leads to an identification of the parameters to be measured and is followed by a survey of measurement methods with emphasis on the "why" in addition to "how". Special attention is given to power equation methods, adapter evaluation, the six-port network analyzer and noise. In these areas in particular, the book includes recently developed material not previously published. Distributed by INSPEC. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
