Download or read book Symmetry Properties in Transmission Lines Loaded with Electrically Small Resonators written by Jordi Naqui and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-16 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the analysis, circuit modeling, and applications of transmission lines loaded with electrically small resonators (mostly resonators inspired by metamaterials), focusing on the study of the symmetry-related electromagnetic properties of these loaded lines. It shows that the stopband functionality (resonance) that these lines exhibit can be controlled by the relative orientation between the line and the resonator, which determines their mutual coupling. Such resonance controllability, closely related to symmetry, is essential for the design of several microwave components, such as common-mode suppressed differential lines, novel microwave sensors based on symmetry disruption, and spectral signature radio-frequency barcodes. Other interesting aspects, such as stopband bandwidth enhancement (due to inter-resonator coupling, and related to complex modes) and magnetoelectric coupling between the transmission lines and split-ring resonators, are also included in the book.

Download or read book Microstrip Filters for RF Microwave Applications written by Jia-Sheng Hong and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-01-06 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of “Microstrip Filters for RF/Microwave Applications” was published in 2001. Over the years the book has been well received and is used extensively in both academia and industry by microwave researchers and engineers. From its inception as a manuscript the book is almost 8 years old. While the fundamentals of filter circuits have not changed, further innovations in filter realizations and other applications have occurred with changes in the technology and use of new fabrication processes, such as the recent advances in RF MEMS and ferroelectric films for tunable filters; the use of liquid crystal polymer (LCP) substrates for multilayer circuits, as well as the new filters for dual-band, multi-band and ultra wideband (UWB) applications. Although the microstrip filter remains as the main transmission line medium for these new developments, there has been a new trend of using combined planar transmission line structures such as co-planar waveguide (CPW) and slotted ground structures for novel physical implementations beyond the single layer in order to achieve filter miniaturization and better performance. Also, over the years, practitioners have suggested topics that should be added for completeness, or deleted in some cases, as they were not very useful in practice. In view of the above, the authors are proposing a revised version of the “Microstrip Filters for RF/Microwave Applications” text and a slightly changed book title of “Planar Filters for RF/Microwave Applications” to reflect the aforementioned trends in the revised book.

Download or read book Meta Smith Charts and Their Applications written by Danai Torrungrueng and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2010-06-06 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the developments and potential applications of Meta-Smith charts, which can be applied to practical and useful transmission line problems (e.g., metamaterial transmission lines and nonreciprocal transmission lines). These problems are beyond the capability of the standard Smith chart to be applied effectively. As any RF engineer is aware, a key property of the Smith chart is the insight it provides, even in very complex design processes. Like the Smith chart, Meta-Smith charts provide a useful way of visualizing transmission line phenomena. They provide useful physical insight, and they can also assist in solving related problems effectively. This book can be used as a companion guide in studying Microwave Engineering for senior undergraduate students as well as for graduate students. It is also recommended for researchers in the RF community, especially those working with periodic transmission line structures and metamaterial transmission lines. Problems are also provided at the end of each chapter for readers to gain a better understanding of material presented in this book.
