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.

The upheavals of the NHS reforms have caused a great deal of stress and uncertainty in primary care, and professional development and support for general practitioners needs to take account of this. This book offers a group supervision model which can be used to develop the core competencies needed for GPs to make the new primary care organisations work.
