Golio M. (ed.). Microwave and RF Product Applications

CRC Press, 2003. — 403 p. — ISBN: 0-8493-1732-0.Microwave and RF Product Applications is a single-volume, comprehensive reference for high-frequency commercial, military, and medical applications. The introduction of the book defines the RF and microwave electromagnetic energy spectrum and examines key characteristics of that energy that are exploited for modern RF communications, sensor, and heating product applications. Individual chapters then examine cellular and mobile communications, broadband wireless access, wireless LANs and PANs,
satellite communications, electronic navigation, avionics, radar, and therapeutic medical applications. Additional chapters describe RF and microwave analysis and simulation techniques and provide descriptions of the fundamental physical phenomena that govern electromagnetic applications. Written by leading researchers in the field, Microwave and RF Product Applications provides important information for engineers working with wireless RF or microwave applications. It also serves as an excellent source for those requiring information outside their area of expertise, such as managers, marketers, and technical support workers who need a better understanding of the fields driving their decisions.Editor-in-Chief.
