Microwave Engineering

by David M. Pozar

Focusing on the design of microwave circuits and components, this valuable reference offers professionals and students an introduction to the fundamental concepts necessary for real world design. The author successfully introduces Maxwell's equations, wave propagation, network analysis, and design principles as applied to modern microwave engineering. A considerable amount of material in this book is related to the design of specific microwave circuits and components, for both practical and motivational value. It also presents the analysis and logic behind these designs so that the reader can see and understand the process of applying the fundamental concepts to arrive at useful results. The derivations are well laid out and the majority of each chapter's formulas are displayed in a nice tabular format every few pages. This Third Edition offers greatly expanded coverage with new material on: Noise; Nonlinear effects; RF MEMs; transistor power amplifiers; FET mixers; oscillator phase noise; transistor oscillators and frequency multiplier.

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.
