RF and Microwave Engineering: Fundamentals of Wireless Communications provides a fundamental and practical introduction to radio frequency and microwave engineering and physical aspects of wireless communication. The book discusses a wide range of RF topics with emphasis on physical aspects (EM and voltage waves, transmission lines, passive circuits, antennas). What is new is the consistent use of modern RF tools (RF circuit simulation, EM simulation, computerized smith chart) in various examples that show how the methods can be applied productively in RF engineering practice. Examples that illustrate the theoretical parts are close to real world problems, so the reader can directly use the methods in his own work context.
