Scattering Parameters in RF and Microwave Circuit Analysis and Design

Dobrowolski offers this resource for students, researchers, and engineers in microwave network analysis and design, using the wave approach to relate observable scattering to hidden electrical parameters such as voltages and currents. The first four chapters build up to wave variables and scattering matrix. A basic framework of uniform waveguides and modal electromagnetic field representation are presented, followed by theory of transmission lines as a bridge between field analysis and microwave network theory. In chapter four, the full mathematics and physical correspondences of voltage traveling waves, power scattering waves, pseudowaves, and corresponding scattering matrices are developed. The remaining two-thirds of the book discuss applications, focusing on signal analysis and noise analysis in two-port or multiport networks, differential networks, and using multielement, common-mode, and mixed-mode approaches. The final chapter discusses linearization of scattering functions and modeling of nonlinear devices. Annotation c2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
