Riassunto

The first edition of &;Microstrip Filters for RF/Microwave Applications&; was published in 2001. Over the years the book has been well received and is used extensively in both academia and industry by microwave researchers and engineers.  From its inception as a manuscript the book is almost 8 years old.  While the fundamentals of filter circuits have not changed, further innovations in filter realizations and other applications have occurred with changes in the technology and use of new fabrication processes, such as the recent advances in RF MEMS and ferroelectric films for tunable filters; the use of liquid crystal polymer (LCP) substrates for multilayer circuits, as well as the new filters for dual-band, multi-band and ultra wideband (UWB) applications.

Although the microstrip filter remains as the main transmission line medium for these new developments, there has been a new trend of using combined  planar transmission line structures such as co-planar waveguide (CPW) and slotted ground structures for novel physical implementations beyond the single layer in order to achieve filter miniaturization and better performance.

Also, over the years, practitioners have suggested topics that should be added for completeness, or deleted in some cases, as they were not very useful in practice. 

In view of the above, the authors are proposing a revised version of the &;Microstrip Filters for RF/Microwave Applications&; text and a slightly changed book title of &;Planar Filters for RF/Microwave Applications&; to reflect the aforementioned trends in the revised book.

Dalla quarta di copertina

A new edition of the sole resource on cutting-edge microstrip filter design

Since the first edition of this unparalleled review of radio frequency (RF)/microwave filters based on the microstrip structure was published, further innovations in filter realizations and other applications have occurred with changes in technology and use of new fabrication processes. The microstrip has seen a new trend of the combined use of other planar trans-mission line structures in order to achieve filter miniaturization and better performance.

Now, this well-received, widely used professional reference has been thoroughly updated to focus on both microstrip and planar filters, which find wide applications in today's wireless, microwave, communications, and radar systems. It offers a unique and comprehensive treatment of filters based on the microstrip and planar structures, and includes full design methodologies that are applicable to waveguide and other transmission line filters. This updated edition covers a wealth of new materials, including:

• Co-planar waveguide and slotlines

• General coupling matrix including source and load

• Multiband filters

• Non-degenerate dual-mode filters

• Filters with defected ground structures

• Substrate integrated waveguide filters

• Liquid crystal polymer and low-temperature co-fired ceramic multilayer filters

• High-temperature superconducting filters for mobile/satellite communications and radio astronomy

• Ultra wideband filters

• Tunable and reconfigurable filters

This intensively revised book utilizes numerous examples of novel and sophisticated filters using computer-aided design with commercially available software, from basic concepts to practical realizations. It remains not only a valuable design resource for professional engineers designing filters for communications and microwave applications, but also a handy reference for students and researchers in RF and microwave engineering.
