Microwave Ring Circuits and Related Structures, Second Edition

The definitive text on microwave ring circuits-now better than ever For the past three decades, the ring resonator has been widely used in such applications as measurements, filters, oscillators, mixers, couplers, power dividers/combiners, antennas, and frequency-selective surfaces, to name just a few. The field has continued to expand, with many new analyses, models, and applications recently reported. Microwave Ring Circuits and Related Structures has long been the only text fully dedicated to the treatment of ring resonators. The second edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect the most current developments in the field. In addition to updating all the original material, the authors have added extensive new coverage on: \* A universal model for both rectangular and circular ring configurations \* Applications of ring structures for all types of planar circuits \* A new transmission line analysis \* An abundance of new applications in bandpass and bandstop filters, couplers, oscillators, and antennas While retaining all the features that made the original text so useful to both students and teachers in the field, the second edition seeks to introduce the analysis and models of ring resonators and to apply them to both the old and the new applications, including microstrip, slotline, coplanar waveguide, and waveguide transmission lines. Based on dissertations and papers published by graduate students, scholars, and research associates at A&M University, Microwave Ring Circuits and Related Structures, Second Edition is sure to be a valuable addition to both engineering classrooms and research libraries in the field.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1–4): Chapter 2 Analysis and Modeling of Ring Resonators (pages 5–54): Chapter 3 Modes, Perturbations, and Coupling Methods of Ring Resonators (pages 55–96): Chapter 4 Electronically Tunable Ring Resonators (pages 97–126): Chapter 5 Electronically Switchable Ring Resonators (pages 127–138): Chapter 6 Measurement Applications Using Ring Resonators (pages 139–152): Chapter 7 Filter Applications (pages 153–196): Chapter 8 Ring Couplers (pages 197–240): Chapter 9 Ring Magic?T Circuits (pages 241–270): Chapter 10 Waveguide Ring Resonators and Filters (pages 271–296): Chapter 11 Ring Antennas and Frequency?Selective Surfaces (pages 297–329): Chapter 12 Ring Mixers, Oscillators, and Other Applications (pages 330–351):

The definitive text on microwave ring circuits–now better than ever

For the past three decades, the ring resonator has been widely used in such applications as measurements, filters, oscillators, mixers, couplers, power dividers/combiners, antennas, and frequency-selective surfaces, to name just a few. The field has continued to expand, with many new analyses, models, and applications recently reported.

Microwave Ring Circuits and Related Structures has long been the only text fully dedicated to the treatment of ring resonators. The second edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect the most current developments in the field. In addition to updating all the original material, the authors have added extensive new coverage on:

• A universal model for both rectangular and circular ring configurations

• Applications of ring structures for all types of planar circuits

• A new transmission line analysis

• An abundance of new applications in bandpass and bandstop filters, couplers, oscillators, and antennas

While retaining all the features that made the original text so useful to both students and teachers in the field, the second edition seeks to introduce the analysis and models of ring resonators and to apply them to both the old and the new applications, including microstrip, slotline, coplanar waveguide, and waveguide transmission lines.

No date is cited for the first edition. The second considers ring resonators built in various transmission lines such as microstrip, slotline, coplanar waveguide, and waveguide. It also updates and sometimes corrects the previous discussions and incorporates recent applications. Annotation: 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
