Sabban A. Wideband RF Technologies and Antennas in Microwave Frequencies

John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2016. — 447 p. — ISBN10: 1119048699.Presents wideband RF technologies and antennas in the microwave band and millimeter-wave band
This book provides an up-to-date introduction to the technologies, design, and test procedures of RF components and systems at microwave frequencies. The book begins with a review of the elementary electromagnetics and antenna topics needed for students and engineers with no basic background in electromagnetic and antenna theory. These introductory chapters will allow readers to study and understand the basic design principles and features of RF and communication systems for communications and medical applications. After this introduction, the author examines MIC, MMIC, MEMS, and LTCC technologies. The text will also present information on meta-materials, design of microwave and mm wave systems, along with a look at microwave and mm wave receivers, transmitters and antennas.
Discusses printed antennas for wireless communication systems and wearable antennas for communications and medical applications
Presents design considerations with both computed and measured results of RF communication modules and CAD tools
Includes end-of-chapter problems and exercises
