Transmission Lines Waveguides And Smith Charts

This book presents the developments and potential applications of Meta-Smith charts, which can be applied to practical and useful transmission line problems (e.g., metamaterial transmission lines and nonreciprocal transmission lines). These problems are beyond the capability of the standard Smith chart to be applied effectively. As any RF engineer is aware, a key property of the Smith chart is the insight it provides, even in very complex design processes. Like the Smith chart, Meta-Smith charts provide a useful way of visualizing transmission line phenomena. They provide useful physical insight, and they can also assist in solving related problems effectively. This book can be used as a companion guide in studying Microwave Engineering for senior undergraduate students as well as for graduate students. It is also recommended for researchers in the RF community, especially those working with periodic transmission line structures and metamaterial transmission lines. Problems are also provided at the end of each chapter for readers to gain a better understanding of material presented in this book.

The legendary Smith chart inventor's classic reference book describes how the chart is used for designing lumped element and transmission line circuits. Provides tutorial material on transmission line theory and behavior, circuit representation on the chart, matching networks, network transformations and broadband matching. Includes a new chapter with examples designs and description of the winSMITH software accessory. Many computational instruments have succumbed to the power of the digital computer. This is not the case with the Smith Chart. A testament to Phil's genius is that his Smith Cha.

The book is written for an undergraduate course on the transmission lines and waveguides. It provides comprehensive coverage of four terminal networks, filters, transmission lines and various types of waveguides. The book starts with explaining the symmetrical and asymmetrical four terminal networks which form the basis of filters. Then book provides the detailed discussion of various types of filters. The discussion of composite filters and crystal filter is also included in the book. The book covers the transmission line parameters in detail along with reflection on a line, reflection loss and reflection factor. The chapter on transmission line at radio frequency includes parameters of line at high frequency, standing waves, standing wave ratio, single stub matching, double stub matching and Smith chart. The book covers the various aspects of guided waves between parallel planes. It also provides the discussion of rectangular and circular waveguides. At the end book incorporates the discussion of resonators. Each chapter provides the detailed explanation of the topic, practical examples and variety of solved problems. The explanations are given using very simple and lucid language. All the chapters are arranged in a specific sequence which helps to build the understanding of the subject in a logical fashion. The book explains the philosophy of the subject which makes the understanding of the concepts very clear and makes the subject more interesting.
