Microwave Engineering

by David M. Pozar

The 4 th edition of this classic text provides a thorough coverage of RF and microwave engineering concepts, starting from fundamental principles of electrical engineering, with applications to microwave circuits and devices of practical importance.  Coverage includes microwave network analysis, impedance matching, directional couplers and hybrids, microwave filters, ferrite devices, noise, nonlinear effects, and the design of microwave oscillators, amplifiers, and mixers. Material on microwave and RF systems includes wireless communications, radar, radiometry, and radiation hazards. A large number of examples and end-of-chapter problems test the reader's understanding of the material. The 4th edition includes new and updated material on systems, noise, active devices and circuits, power waves, transients, RF CMOS circuits, and more.

This is a good getting-started book. It provides a topical study of various passive and active RF circuits. While it does provide significant depth on any given subject, it is a nice starting place and reference.

it may be an undergraduate microwaves text, but it's probably the clearest i've seen. the basic formulas are all laid out. for theory? read Stratton, Balanis, or Harrington. for application? read Pozar, if it's not some funky obscure waveguide then this book will save you time.

High quality book. Great inveswtment for the subject. Recommended.

Pretty good book. Recommend Collins over this, just because Collins is more thorough. This is probably my first reading of many... it doesn't seem to be a text that you can just read through and understand everything. Instead, you probably need to make many sweeping passes over it!

An interesting engineering textbook!!! But, in my opinion the microwave superconductivity is better covered in the Nonlinearities in Microwave Superconductivity book by Viktor O. Ledenyov and Dimitri O. Ledenyov!!!

Absolutely amazing and clear; this book is the ultimate microwave engineering reference.
