More Description

Microwave Circuit Design Using Linear and Nonlinear Techniques George D. Vendelin, Anthony M. Pavio and Ulrich L. Rohde This one volume source for the computer optimization of microwave passive and active circuits is a complete introduction to modern microwave engineering using the S-parameter technique. The text presents state-of-the-art linear and nonlinear designs using computer-aided methods popular in the design and manufacture of microwave amplifiers, oscillators, and mixers. Ample and detailed discussion of the latest microwave transistors, circuit design, noise, passive microwave elements, and the incorporation of CAD into microwave integrated circuit (MIC) and monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) technology round out the text. Techniques presented are illustrated with several MMIC designs, which include a wideband amplifier, a low-noise amplifier, and an MMIC mixer 1990 (0 471-60276-0) 757 pp. Fundamentals of Photonics Bahaa E. A. Saleh and Malvin C. Teich This invaluable work provides a detailed introduction to the fascinating and converging disciplines behind photonics. Beginning with a discussion of the four theories of light (ray optics, wave optics, electromagnetic optics, and photon optics), the theory of interaction of light with matter, and the theory of semiconductor materials and their optical properties, the text progresses to a survey of the field's up-to-the-minute advances. These include a look at Fourier optics and holography, guided wave optics and optical fibers, statistical optics, photonic switching and computing, and more. Providing applications and examples of real systems, the text skillfully balances theory and practice, providing engineers, researchers in fiber optics and communications, and students with an authoritative first look at photonics. 1991 (0 471-83965-5) 700 pp.
