Preface

The ﬁeld of microwave engineering has undergone a radical transformation in recent years as the Defense

and Government work effort that once dominated the industry is now exceeded by commercial wireless

efforts. The explosive growth of commercial wireless markets has not only altered the Defense/non-

Defense work balance, but also brought about signiﬁcant shifts in the perspective and focus of working

microwave and RF engineers. Engineering emphasis has changed from optimum performance design to

design for manufacturing, from one-of-a-kind parts to high volume production, from performance at

all cost to minimum cost with acceptable performance, from widest possible bandwidth to regulated

narrow band, etc. Even engineers and researchers working in the traditional high performance, low

volume microwave markets have seen a shift in emphasis of their work as every effort is made to reduce

cost through the re-use of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) parts. Although the physics and mathematics

of microwave and RF engineering is the same, the job of the typical microwave engineer has changed

dramatically. The modern microwave and RF engineer is expected to be knowledgeable of customer

expectations, market trends, manufacturing technologies, and factory models to a degree that is unprec-

edented in the history of RF/microwave engineering. Unfortunately, the 40+ years of close association

of the microwave industry solely with Defense/Government agencies has left a legacy of microwave

literature that is narrowly focused on high performance, low volume applications and is deﬁcient in many

areas of critical importance today. This handbook comes at a time when there is an emerging interest in

a broader range of microwave material with more balance than that which has been previously available.

The purpose of

is to provide a single-volume comprehensive refer-

ence for modern microwave and RF engineers. The articles that comprise the handbook provide impor-

tant information for practicing engineers in industry, government, and academia. The intended audience

also includes microwave and other electrical engineers requiring information outside of their area of

expertise as well as managers, marketers, and technical support workers who need better understanding

of the ﬁelds driving and affected by their decisions.

The book is organized into nine chapters, with all but the ﬁrst chapter consisting of several articles

on related topics. The ﬁrst chapter consists of a single introductory article that provides important

deﬁnitions and spectral information. Two appendices containing useful information for practicing micro-

wave engineers are also included. By design, there is some overlap of information presented in some of

the chapters. This allows the reader to investigate a topic without needing to make numerous references

to other portions of the handbook. A complete table of contents is presented at the front of the book to

provide the reader with a means of locating desired information as easily and rapidly as possible. Finally,

all of the articles provide the reader with additional references to related expert literature.

The RF and Microwave Handbook

Acknowledgments

Developing a handbook like this one is a big job — much bigger than I originally anticipated. This

handbook would simply never have been completed if it were not for the efforts of the managing editor,

Janet Golio. Her focus, persistence, software expertise, and organizational skills were essential to the

project. Her efforts can be measured in the nearly 10,000 pieces of email correspondence she handled,

the 100+ telephone conversations she initiated, or the tracking of approximately 80 articles from initial

contact to commitment to receipt to review through ﬁnal modiﬁcation and submission. Yet all of these

metrics combined do not completely capture the full magnitude of her contribution to this handbook.

I cannot offer enough gratitude to compensate for the many long evenings she spent on this project.

I am also signiﬁcantly indebted to the Handbook Editorial Board. This Board contributed to every

phase of the handbook development. Their efforts are reﬂected in the organization and outline of the

material, selection and recruitment of authors, article contributions, and review of the articles. Their

labors were essential to the project and I am happy to acknowledge their help.

And, of course, I must thank the handbook professionals at CRC Press. Richard Dorf, Editor for the

CRC Electrical Engineering Handbook series, and Ron Powers, President of Book Publishing, were

instrumental in getting this project started. Special thanks is extended to Nora Konopka, Acquisitions

Editor, who has worked most closely with the project during article development and has been more

patient and encouraging than I deserve. Finally, Helena Redshaw, Production Manager, has taken the

stacks of manuscripts, disks and CDs, identiﬁed and added the missing bits and pieces, and turned them

into a book. Thanks also to all the CRC staff that I have not had the pleasure to work closely with, but

who have contributed to this effort.

Editor-in-Chief

received his B.S.E.E. degree from the University of Illinois in 1976. He worked designing

microwave oscillators and ampliﬁers for electronic counter-measure applications for two years before

returning to school to complete his M.S.E.E. and Ph.D. degrees at North Carolina State University in

1980 and 1983, respectively. After graduate school, he worked as an Assistant Professor of Electrical

Engineering before returning to industry. He spent ﬁve years developing MMIC circuits, tools, and

techniques for microwave satellite applications prior to participating in the establishment of a GaAs

fabrication facility. The GaAs facility was constructed to manufacture devices and circuits to serve

commercial wireless markets — including cellular telephone, pager, and wireless LAN businesses. His

role shifted from individual technical contributor to Group Manager during this time. He is currently

the Director of the Rockwell Collins RF/Power Design Center tasked with identifying, acquiring, devel-

oping, and implementing emerging RF and power conversion technologies. The Center provides design

expertise in the radio frequency (RF), microwave, and millimeter wave domain. This includes receivers,

transmitters, antennas, frequency control circuitry, and power supplies for commercial and military

avionics applications.

Dr. Golio’s research has resulted in 15 patents and over 200 professional presentations and publications.

His technical publications include four book chapters, one book, and one software package. He was

selected to serve as the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques-Society (MTT-S) Distinguished Micro-

wave Lecturer from 1998 to 2000. He is currently co-editor of the I

he contributes a regular column. He serves as a member of the MTT-S Administrative Committee, has

organized several professional workshops and panel sessions, and served as a member of the Technical

Program Committee for several professional conferences. He was elected Fellow of the IEEE in 1996.
