This book focuses on a fundamental feature of vacuum electronics: the strong interaction of the physics of electron beams and vacuum microwave electronics, including millimeter-wave electronics. The author guides readers from the roots of classical vacuum electronics to the most recent achievements in the field. Special attention is devoted to the physics and theory of relativistic beams and microwave devices, as well as the theory and applications of specific devices.

The 12 chapters of this book are authored by productive researchers in the field and will offer a well balanced presentation between theory and experiments in localized waves.

Introducing several important and useful methods for analysing planar transmission line structures, this text discusses the theory and applications of Green's functions, the conformal mapping method, spectral domain methods, variational methods, the mode matching and transverse resonance methods. Detailed formulations for all these methods are described through analyses of many planar transmission line structures. The book also covers fundamentals of planar transmission lines commonly encountered in MICs and MMICs.

Up-to-date coverage of the analysis and applications of coplanar waveguides to microwave circuits and antennas

The unique feature of coplanar waveguides, as opposed to more conventional waveguides, is their uniplanar construction, in which all of the conductors are aligned on the same side of the substrate. This feature simplifies manufacturing and allows faster and less expensive characterization using on-wafer techniques.

Coplanar Waveguide Circuits, Components, and Systems is an engineer's complete resource, collecting all of the available data on the subject. Rainee...
