RF AND MICROWAVE COUPLED-LINE CIRCUITS

Coupled-line circuits are commonly used in the design of a wide range of RF and microwave components. Over the past few years, important innovations and new applications have developed, making a current resource on the subject a welcome addition to any microwave or RF engineer's professional library. This extensively revised edition of a 1999 Artech House classic offers a thoroughly up-to-date understanding of coupled line fundamentals, explaining their applications in designing microwave and millimeter-wave components used in today's communications, microwave, and radar systems. The Second Edition includes a wealth of new material, particularly relating to applications. Engineers find brand new discussions on high pass filters using coupled lines, software packages used for filter design, advanced filter technology, and the design of filters using new materials and technologies.
