Description
Engineers working with directional couplers can avoid studying a countless number of papers on the subject and concentrate on Microwave Transmission Line Couplers, the first book to present a complete overview of directional couplers and power splitters. This book helps you develop an understanding of the mechanisms of the various networks, as well as their underlying analytical approach. Microwave Transmission Line Couplers provides a reference for the engineer interested in design procedures, covering practical considerations by including a large number of complete design examples. The appendices' contain two simple computer programs for the analysis of symmetrical three and four-port networks, and coupled-line configuration applications, for you to replicate on your own personal computer.
