Microwave Network Design Using the Scattering Matrix

This authoritative resource provide engineers with comprehensive and detailed coverage of the wave approach to microwave network characterization, analysis, and design using scattering parameters. For the first time in any book, all aspects and approaches to wave variables and the scattering matrix are explored. Packed with over 1,100 equations and numerous illustrations, this unique book:

Compares and contrasts voltage waves, travelling waves, pseudowaves, and power waves;

Explains the differences between real scattering parameters, pseudoscattering parameters, and power scattering parameters;

Discusses standard scattering matrices and wave quantities, mixed mode wave variables, and noise wave variables with noise wave correlation matrices;

Presents clear methods for standard single-ended multiport network design and noise analysis.
