Side Chain Liquid Crystal Polymers

This book covers all the major electronic devices for microwave applications. While device physics is covered in detail to give your students a firm understanding of the operating principles of the devices, the book is written from a practical engineering viewpoint; it gives extensive coverage of major circuit and sub-system types commonly used in the whole range of microwave systems in communications, broadcasting, radar and remote sensing. This comprehensive and detailed book will give both students and junior engineers in industry a firm base in microwave electronics. Its practical approach with coverage of important real world topics such as noise, measurement and device modelling, combined with its breadth of coverage, ranging from vacuum devices through solid-state devices to monolithic microwave integrated circuits, ensures that it is a uniquely valuable text and reference for years to come.
