Microwave Engineering

by David M. Pozar

Pozar's new edition of Microwave Engineering includes more material on active circuits, noise, nonlinear effects, and wireless systems. Chapters on noise and nonlinear distortion, and active devices have been added along with the coverage of noise and more material on intermodulation distortion and related nonlinear effects. On active devices, there's more updated material on bipolar junction and field effect transistors.New and updated material on wireless communications systems, including link budget, link margin, digital modulation methods, and bit error rates is also part of the new edition. Other new material includes a section on transients on transmission lines, the theory of power waves, a discussion of higher order modes and frequency effects for microstrip line, and a discussion of how to determine unloaded.

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.
