Microwave Engineering Foundations for Microwave Engineering Second Edition A Classic Reissue in the IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory Donald G. Dudley, Series Editor Foundations for Microwave Engineering, Second Edition, covers the major topics of microwave engineering. Its presentation defines the accepted standard for both advanced undergraduate and graduate level courses on microwave engineering An essential reference book for the practicing microwave engineer, it features:
* Planar transmission lines, as well as an appendix that describes in detail conformal mapping methods for their analysis and attenuation characteristics.
* Small aperture coupling and its application in practical components such as directional couplers and cavity coupling.
* Printed circuit components with an emphasis on techniques such as even and odd mode analysis and the use of symmetry properties.
* Microwave linear amplifier and oscillator design using solid-state circuits such as varactor devices and transistors.
Foundations for Microwave Engineering, Second Edition, has extensive coverage of transmission lines, waveguides, microwave circuit theory, impedance matching, and cavity resonators. It devotes an entire chapter to fundamental microwave tubes, as well as other chapters on periodic structures, microwave filters, small signal solid-state microwave amplifier and oscillator design, and negative resistance devices and circuits. Completely updated in 1992, it is being reissued by the IEEE Press in response to requests from our many members, who found it an invaluable textbook and an enduring reference for practicing microwave engineers. About the IEEE Press Series onElectromagnetic Wave Theory The IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory offers outstanding coverage of the field. It consists of new titles of contemporary interest, as well as reissues and revisions of recognized classics by established authors and researchers. The series emphasizes works of long-term archival significance in electromagnetic waves and applications. Designed specifically for graduate students, researchers and practicing engineers, the series provides affordable volumes that explore and explain electromagnetic waves beyond the undergraduate level.

This title is co-published with Oxford University Press. Long considered the most comprehensive account of electromagnetic theory and analytical methods for solving waveguide and cavity problems, this new Second Edition has been completely revised and thoroughly updated - approximately 40 per cent new material! Packed with examples and applications "Field theory of guided waves" provides solutions to a large number of practical structures of current interest. The book includes an exceptionally complete discussion of scalar and Dyadic Green functions. Both a valuable review and source of basic information on applied mathematical topics and a hands-on source for solution methods and techniques, this book belongs on the desk of all engineers working in microwave and antenna systems! It is sponsored by: IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society.

Have you ever heard a sermon about how God cursed the ground for Adam's sake and men must therefore be diligent to ensure that it remains blighted-refusing to use insecticides or pesticides on their gardens or in any way lightening their workloads for fear of angering God? Has anyone ever told you that it is sinful to use analgesics to lessen pain in childbirth because God wants women to have greater, not lesser, pain during labor? It is highly unlikely that you have heard anything like the above. However, you have no doubt listened to scores of sermons, read numerous books, and participated in countless discussions about the importance of observing one of the "curses" God pronounced in Eden: "he shall rule over thee." The results of Adam and Eve's sin were injurious, detrimental, and harmful. The control men were predicted to wield over women, which came as a part of the death Adam and Eve brought upon themselves, was, just like the other effects of their sin, a consequence that ought to be resisted and, if possible, prevented. Do you seek a clearer view of God's judgment on men's exercise of control over women? If so, take a look inside for scriptural evidence that this form of bigotry, abuse, and slavery is not the will of God.

Aaron Collins died on July 7, 2012, leaving behind a will requesting that his family go out to eat and leave an "awesome tip" ($500 for a pizza). The tip was recorded and uploaded to YouTube by Aaron's brother, Seth; and generous people all over the world donated to reproduce "Aaron's Last Wish" again and again. Honest, inspirational, and often heart rending, the story revealed by Aaron's mother, Tina Rae Collins, provides a glimpse into the strength and love of a family whose lives have been touched by both sorrow and joy in the loss of their loved one.

In the wake of failed prophecies about the "end times," many are weary of being warned that the Lord is coming soon, only to be disappointed when He does not arrive. This book gives a biblical answer to when Jesus declared that He would return to gather His people to Himself. Jesus left nothing to ponder; He was clear about which generation would behold His presence. While some search the Old Testament in an effort to determine what was to happen during the prophet Daniel's seventy weeks, others look to Revelation and attempt to decipher the number of the beast or guess about what his mark is. These are good endeavors, but the Lord and His apostles were straightforward in their language about the timing of the end. If you want honest, scriptural answers to your questions about the gathering of God's people, beginning in Genesis and going through Revelation, take a look inside this book. You will not be left wanting, but be forewarned: your entire eschatological view may be turned upside down.
