Advanced Modal Analysis

Authored by three renowned experts in microwave engineering, this book describes in detail a number of modern multi-modal techniques for the analysis and design of passive microwave components. It comprehensively covers modal analysis of waveguides and cavities; discusses several multi-mode procedures for the study of both basic and arbitrarily shaped waveguide junctions and finally, describes specific applications such as inductively coupled filters, waveguide couplers, metal insert and dual-mode filters. The book will be of interest to professional engineers and researchers in the microwave engineering field as well as students engaged in research at an advanced level.<br> <br> Distinctive features of this book include:<br> <br> * Detailed explanation of several multi-mode analysis techniques for the analysis of waveguide components based on both canonical and arbitrary waveguide profiles<br> <br> * Measured versus simulated results for a number of specific application examples<br> <br> * Accompanying software that allows the reader to input their own data thereby demonstrating how the techniques described can be effectively used to develop fast and accurate CAD tools
