Читать книгу Handbook of Microwave Component Measurements - Joel P. Dunsmore - Страница 15

Many of my colleagues assisted in the development and review of this book, and I would like to acknowledge their help here. Henri Komrij, my R&D manager, has been a great supporter from the initial concept, as well as Greg Peters, V.P. and general manager of the Components Test Division. Many R&D engineers in our lab contributed to the review of the manuscript, and their expertise in each field is sincerely appreciated: Keith Anderson, Dara Sariaslani, Dave Blackham, Ken Wong, Shinya Goto, Bob Shoulders, Dave Ballo, Clive Barnett, Cheng Ning, Xin Chen, Mihai Marcu, and Loren Betts. They did an excellent job, and any remaining errors are entirely and regrettably my own.

Many of the new methods and techniques presented here rely on the difficult and precise implementation of measurement methods and algorithms, and I'd like to thank our software design team, Johan Ericsson, Sue Wood, Jim Kerr, Phil Hoard, Jade Hughes, Brad Hokkanen, Niels Jensen, Raymond Taylor, Dennis McCarthy, Andy Cannon, Wil Stark, Yu‐Chen Hu, Zhi‐Wen Wong, and Yang Yang, as well as their managers, Sean Hubert, Qi Gao, and Dexter Yamaguchi for all their help over the years in implementing in our products many of the functions described here.

Finally, I would like to remember here Dr. Roger Pollard, who as my PhD adviser at University of Leeds and as a colleague during his sabbaticals at HP and Agilent Technologies, provided advice, mentoring, and friendship; he will be greatly missed.
