<p>This textbook is an introduction to microwave engineering. The scope of this book extends from topics for a first course in electrical engineering, in which impedances are analyzed using <i>complex numbers</i>, through the introduction of transmission lines that are analyzed using the <i>Smith Chart, </i>and on to graduate level subjects, such as equivalent circuits for obstacles in hollow waveguides, analyzed using <i>Green’s Functions. This book is a virtual encyclopedia of circuit design methods.</i></p> <p> </p> <p>Despite the complexity, topics are presented in a conversational manner for ease of comprehension. The book is not only an excellent text at the undergraduate and graduate levels, but is as well a detailed reference for the practicing engineer.</p> <p> </p> <p>Consider how well informed an engineer will be who has become familiar with these topics as treated in <b><i>High Frequency Techniques</i></b>: (in order of presentation)</p> <p> </p> <p>            Brief history of wireless (radio) and the Morse code</p> <p>            U.S. Radio Frequency Allocations</p> <p>            Introduction to vectors</p> <p>            AC analysis and why complex numbers and impedance are used</p> <p>            Circuit and antenna reciprocity</p> <p>            Decibel measure</p> <p>            Maximum power transfer</p> <p>            Skin effect</p> <p>            Computer simulation and optimization of networks</p> <p>            LC matching of one impedance to another</p> <p>            Coupled Resonators</p> <p>            Uniform transmission lines for propagation</p> <p>            VSWR, return Loss and mismatch error</p> <p>            The Telegrapher Equations (derived)</p> <p>            Phase and Group Velocities</p> <p>            The Impedance Transformation Equation for lines (derived)</p> <p>            Fano’s and Bode’s matching limits</p> <p>            The Smith Chart (derived)</p> <p>            Slotted Line impedance measurement</p> <p>            Constant Q circles on the Smith Chart</p> <p>            Approximating a transmission line with lumped L’s and C’s</p> <p>            ABCD, Z, Y and Scattering matrix analysis methods for circuits</p> <p>            Statistical Design and Yield Analysis of products</p> <p>            Electromagnetic Fields</p> <p>            Gauss’s Law</p> <p>            Vector Dot Product, Divergence and Curl</p> <p>            Static Pot
