Microwave Engineering

by David M. Pozar

This second edition emphasizes the fundamental concepts of Maxwell's equations, wave propagation, network analysis and design principles as applied to modern microwave engineering. Applications of microwave engineering are also changing, with increasing emphasis on commercial use of microwave technology for personal communications systems, wireless local area networks, millimeter wave collision avoidance vehicle radars, radio frequency (RF) identification tagging, direct broadcast satellite television, and many other systems related to the information infrastructure.

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!!!
