Description
New Age International (P) Ltd., Publishers Stripline-Like Transmission Lines For Microwave Integrated Circuits (Pb) by Bharathi Bhat, Shiban K. Koul
With the market for wireless technology expanding, there is constant driving demand for a plethora of RF products with increased functionality and integration. The expansion and merging of RF technology with Microwave Integrated Circuit (MIC) techniques has widened the scope for high performance products based on Microwave Integrated Circuits.
Stripline-like Transmission Lines for Microwave Integrated Circuits provides an exhaustive coverage of the analysis, design and applications of planar transmission lines. Starting from fundamental principles, the book builds up on analytical techniques towards the solution of various structures in a lucid and systematic manner so as to be of direct utility for classroom teaching. A unified analytical technique is developed which is applied to a class of single, edge-coupled, broadside coupled and broadside-edge coupled structures using isotropic/anisotropic substrates. The same technique is extended to analyze several discontinuities in these structures. The analysis of losses and details of power handling capabilities are also presented.
For R&D engineers involved in MIC design, the book offers unified design formulas and closed form expressions that are readily programmable. The book also includes graphical illustrations and extensive tables of data on propagation parameters for a wide variety of practical structures using commercially available dielectric substrates. The book concludes with a chapter on circuit applications that discusses the constructional features, transitions to coaxial lines, waveguides and suspended stripline, and design aspects of a number of MIC components-couplers, hybrids, power dividers, filters, PIN diode switches, attenuators and phase shifters and various types of mixers.
