Microwave Engineering

Microwave system has rapidly developed in the last four decades. Microwave communication is now being very widely used. All these requires rapid development of microwave components and equipment. In the last two decades there has been very fast progress in this branch of electronic engineering with the addition of solid state devices and microstrip elements. This is primarily due to it increasing diverse application to fields like radio astronomy, long distance communication, defence navigation and the study of physical and chemical properties of matter. The rapid progress in microwave electronics has created an increasing demand for trained microwave engineering personal which has resulted in introduction of many microwave course in various universities, and engineering institutes. This is a field which is of equal interest to electrical engineers and physicists. A student entering this field is confronted with scarcity of a comprehensive book. There are many books by foreign authors dealing with different aspects of microwaves. However, there are very few books written by Indian authors for Indian students. I hope the attempt made by Sanjeeva Gupta will be successful and provide a useful book for microwave engineers and physicists.
