The first edition of High Power Microwaves was considered to be the defining book for this field. Not merely updated but completely revised and rewritten, the second edition continues this tradition. Written from a systems perspective, the book provides a unified, coherent presentation of the fundamentals in this rapidly changing field. The p

Pozar's new edition of Microwave Engineering includes more material on active circuits, noise, nonlinear effects, and wireless systems. Chapters on noise and nonlinear distortion, and active devices have been added along with the coverage of noise and more material on intermodulation distortion and related nonlinear effects. On active devices, there's more updated material on bipolar junction and field effect transistors. New and updated material on wireless communications systems, including link budget, link margin, digital modulation methods, and bit error rates is also part of the new edition. Other new material includes a section on transients on transmission lines, the theory of power waves, a discussion of higher order modes and frequency effects for microstrip line, and a discussion of how to determine unloaded.

Appropriate for courses in Introduction to Microwaves. Course will be found in electronic technology or electrical engineering technology departments. Also appropriate for industry training and continuing education classes. This up-to-date text/reference book presents the full spectrum of microwave theory in down-to-earth, practical language. It reflects the latest advances in the field and contains an instructional framework composed of examples, questions and problems.

Vols. for 1991 consist of proceedings of the Symposium on Microwaves: Theory and Application in Materials Processing; 1993-1995, Microwaves: Theory and Application in Materials Processing; 1997- , World Congress on Microwave and Radio Frequency Processing.

Most people love microwave popcorn or a warm snack from the microwave, but before 1975, homes did not have this great device. How did Percy Spencer go from a small town mill worker to the inventor of one of the most popular devices in the world? Find out how Spencer's love of science and machines, along with his strong work ethic, helped him achieve a patent for the invention of the microwave oven.
