This senior-grad text and professional reference offers a modern, comprehensive introduction to RF and microwave design by employing a strong components and systems approach and less on abstract electromagnetic theory. The main emphasis is on RF systems, followed by transmission line theory, finally covering coupled lines, RF and microwave components, and their applications. A complete combline microstrip filter design is used to introduce advanced filter concepts. It has extensive emphasis on design with many examples and discussion of manufacturability and practical design decisions. The book is arranged as three modules so that any of the modules can be taught independently, and addresses common questions from students. Cell phone system is used as a running case study to motivate students and underscore principles.
