Waveguide Handbook (Ieee Electromagnetic Waves Series)

Presents the equivalent-circuit parameters for a large number of microwave structures. Also available: Theory of Nonuniform Waveguides: the cross-section method - ISBN 9780852969182 The Institution of Engineering and Technology is one of the world's leading professional societies for the engineering and technology community. The IET publishes more than 100 new titles every year; a rich mix of books, journals and magazines with a back catalogue of more than 350 books in 18 different subject areas including: -Power & Energy -Renewable Energy -Radar, Sonar & Navigation -Electromagnetics -Electrical Measurement -History of Technology -Technology Management

The Waveguide Handbook is an unabridged reprint of the book first published in 1951 by McGraw Hill as Volume 10 of the MIT Radiation Laboratory Series.

Although the primary aim of the book is to present the equivalent-circuit parameters for a large number of microwave structures, a brief but coherent account of the fundamental concepts necessary for their proper utilisation is included. The first three chapters summarise both the field and network theoretic considerations necessary for the derivation and utilisation of the basic transmission line-equivalent-circuit formalism. The mode concept and transmission-line formulation of the field equations are introduced in Chapter 1. This chapter contains an engineering treatment of the transmission-line theory necessary for the description of propagating and nonpropagating modes in the more important types of uniform and nonuniform waveguides. The field-structure, propagation, attenuation, etc., characteristics of the transmission-line modes so described are compiled in Chapter 2, with both quantitive and pictorial detail. The elements of microwave-network theory required for the analysis, representation, and measurement of the equivalent circuits for N-terminal microwave structures are outlined in Chapter 3; also contained in this chapter is a sketch of some of the field theoretic methods employed in the derivation of the equivalent-circuit parameters reported in Chapters 4 to 8. Although most of the above material is written for the impedance-minded microwave engineer, some of the sections should be of interest to the applied mathematician. The remaining chapters contain a compilation of the equivalent-circuit parameters for a variety of nondissipative N-terminal microwave structures. In Chapter 4 a number of two-terminal structures, such as beyondcutoff and radiative waveguide terminations, are treated. Obstacle and aperture discontinuities in waveguides, gratings in free space, etc., are among the four-terminal structures described in Chapter 5. Chapter 6 deals with six-terminal microwave structures and contains the equivalent-circuit parameters for a number of E-and H -plane T- and Y-junctions, bifurcations, etc. Several eight-terminal structures are treated in Chapter 7. Chapter 8 contains the circuit description of a number of typical composite microwave structures; dielectric-filled guides, thick apertures, etc.

This edition also contains a new preface by the editor and several pages of errata which he has collected over the past thirty-five years.

The Waveguide Handbook is an unbridged reprint of the book first published in 1951 by McGrawHill as volume 10 of the MIT Radiation Laboratory Series. Although the primary aim of the book is to present the equivalent circuit parameters for a large amount of microwave structures, a brief but coherent account of the fundamental concepts necessary for their proper utilisation is included

This monograph is devoted to one of the mathematical methods employed to solve a certain class of electrodynamic problem considering non-uniform, over-sized tubular metallic waveguides. The mathematical foundations of this method have a geometrical character.

This book presents and develops the mathematical tools required to effectively examine and analyse propagation processes of waves of various natures using the cross section method, in artificial and non-artificial waveguides.
