Читать книгу Introduction To Modern Planar Transmission Lines - Anand K. Verma - Страница 34

The chapters of this book are organized into four distinct groups as follows:

1 Introductory transmission line and EM wave theory.

2 Basic planar lines and Resonators: Microstrip, CPW, Slot lines, Coupled lines, and Resonators.

3 Analytical Methods: Conformal mapping method, Variational method, Full‐ wave SDA, and SLR formulation.

4 Contemporary engineered planar structures: Periodic planar lines and surfaces, Metamaterials – Bulk, 1D metalines, 2D metasurfaces.

The group i reviews the transmission line and the EM‐theory to assist the reader to follow the rest of the chapters with ease. The groups ii and iii form the classical transmission lines, and the group iv is the modern transmission lines and surfaces. The book presents a seamless treatment of the classical planar transmission lines and the modern engineered planar lines and surfaces using the concept of EBG and metamaterials. The modern EBG and metamaterials based planar lines are the outcome of the classical researches in the artificial dielectrics and concept of homogenization of mixing of inclusions in the host medium. The topics of the chapters are selected to provide comprehensive coverage of the needed background to understand the functioning of both the classical and modern lines and surfaces. Each chapter follows a uniform style. The topics within a chapter start with simple concepts and move to a higher complexity level. Likewise, the chapters are also arranged from the simpler to complex.

The distribution of the chapters among the groups is discussed below. The key features of the chapters are also summarized.
