1.3.2 Key Features, Intended Audience, and Some Suggestions Key Features
ОглавлениеPossibly, it is the first comprehensive book dedicated entirely to the planar transmission lines. The book covers the microstrip lines, CPW, and other classical resonating structures from basic to advanced form in one cover. The book further covers the EBG and metamaterial‐based planar transmission lines and surfaces. These are the topics of current interest. The sequence of the chapter is logical and of increasing complexity.
The emphasis of the book is on the modeling of the planar lines and engineered surfaces using the physical concepts, circuit‐models, closed‐form expressions, and the derivation of a large number of expressions. It provides an in‐depth review of the classical transmission line theory, electromagnetics, modeling of the material medium, and waveguide structures compactly without sacrificing the clarity of presentation.
The advanced mathematical treatment of the topics, such as the variational method, conformal mapping method, and SDA for several kinds of planar line structures is carried out in detail to help the new readers unfamiliar with these topics. A large number of illustrative examples from the published literature are given to clarify the theory and physical principles involved in the contemporary topics of the EBG lines and surfaces, metamaterials, metalines, and metasurfaces.
The multilayer structures useful for the MMIC, MEMS, and LTCC technology are covered. The closed‐form modeling of dispersion, frequency‐dependent characteristic impedance, and losses in the multilayer planar transmission lines is covered for the first time in a book‐form. Also, the basic fabrication technology of the planar transmission lines in the MMIC, MEMS, and LTCC technology is described to help the modelers of the EM‐phenomenon and microwave circuit designers.
Thus, the book prepares the reader to follow the modern designs of the planar circuits and also to undertake independent researches in the field of planar microwave technology.
