When the first edition was written it covered almost the complete undergraduate electronics courses in engin­ eering at universities. One book, at a price students can afford, can no longer cover an undergraduate course in electronics. It has therefore been decided to produce a book covering one important section of such a course using the experience gained and a few problems from previous editions of Problems in Electronics with Solutions. The book is based largely on problems collected by us over many years and given to undergraduate electronic and electrical engineers. Its purpose is to present the problems, together with a large number of their solutions, in the hope that it will prove valuable to undergraduates and other teachers. It should also be useful for Master's degree students in electronic and electrical engineering and physics, research workers, engineers and scientists in industry and as a reference source. The material presented will provide a link between the theory of elec­ tromagnetic fields, waves and transmission lines and its practical applica­ tion. The book is organized in seven chapters treating electromagnetic theory, transmission line theory, rectangular and circular waveguides and cavity resonators, other waveguiding systems, impedance transformation and matching, microwave networks and antennas and propagation. Suffi­ cient material and worked examples are included in an introduction to each chapter to cover the essential points of theory and develop necessary formulae. To keep the price at a level that is reasonable for students it was necessary to limit the number of problems. Some topics which readers may expect to find included, e.g. H, trough, groove and dielectric-rod waveguides, filter theory, resonance absorption, tensor permeability, Faraday rotation etc. concerned with ferrite media at microwave frequencies, have had to be x Preface omitted and others have less space devoted to them than one would have liked. Over 300 problems are given of which 82 are worked examples in the introductory sections of chapters and 168 have step-by-step solutions. The solutions are separated from the problems so that students will not see them by accident. The answer is also given at the end of each problem, however, for convenience. A thorough grasp of the principles involved in any particular problem cannot be obtained by merely reading through the solution. Students should therefore not consult the solutions until they have either repeatedly tried hard and failed to obtain the stated answer or successfully solved the problem and wish to compare the method of solution with that given. Some additional problems, totalling 90, with answers but not solutions, are provided in each chapter as student exercises. References to texts and published papers, together with comments on their content, are listed; these will serve for further explanation of key points, enable and encourage independent study of a particular subject area in greater depth and provide background reading for those equations quoted without proof. In conformity with modern practice SI units are used throughout. We cannot possibly claim that all the problems in the collection are original, but it is impossible to acknowledge the sources of those which are not. Most of the problems are new, however, and in many cases they have been formulated to try to encourage thought and understanding; but some which require only numerical substitution in formulae (they are based on practical data wherever possible) are included in the hope that they will develop the student's sense of magnitudes. While great care has been taken to try to eliminate errors some will inevitably have crept in and we shall be glad to have any such brought to our notice so that they can be corrected in subsequent printings or editions.

  • Waveguides Waveguides, Like Transmission Lines, Are Structures Used to Guide Electromagnetic Waves from Point to Point. However
    Waveguides Waveguides, like transmission lines, are structures used to guide electromagnetic waves from point to point. However, the fundamental characteristics of waveguide and transmission line waves (modes) are quite different. The differences in these modes result from the basic differences in geometry for a transmission line and a waveguide. Waveguides can be generally classified as either metal waveguides or dielectric waveguides. Metal waveguides normally take the form of an enclosed conducting metal pipe. The waves propagating inside the metal waveguide may be characterized by reflections from the conducting walls. The dielectric waveguide consists of dielectrics only and employs reflections from dielectric interfaces to propagate the electromagnetic wave along the waveguide. Metal Waveguides Dielectric Waveguides Comparison of Waveguide and Transmission Line Characteristics Transmission line Waveguide • Two or more conductors CMetal waveguides are typically separated by some insulating one enclosed conductor filled medium (two-wire, coaxial, with an insulating medium microstrip, etc.).

The propagation constant γ gives us much information about the character of the waves. We will assume that the fields propagating in a waveguide along the z-axis have no other variation with z,thatis,the transverse fields do not change shape (other than in magnitude and phase) as the wave propagates. Maxwell’s curl equations in a source-free region (ρ =0andJ = 0) can be combined to give the wave equations, or in terms of phasors, the Helmholtz equations: 2E + k2E =0 2H + k2H =0 ∇ ∇ where k = ω√µ. In rectangular or cylindrical coordinates, the vector Laplacian can be broken into two parts ∂2E 2E = 2E + ∇ ∇t ∂z2 γz so that with the assumed e− dependence we get the wave equations 2E +(γ2 + k2)E =0 2H +(γ2 + k2)H =0 ∇t ∇t (ωt γz) Substituting the e − into Maxwell’s curl equations separately gives (for rectangular coordinates) E = ωµH H = ωE ∇ × − ∇ × ∂Ez ∂Hz + γEy = ωµHx + γHy = ωEx ∂y − ∂y ∂Ez ∂Hz γEx = ωµHy γHx = ωEy − − ∂x − − − ∂x ∂Ey ∂Ex ∂Hy ∂Hx = ωµHz = ωEz ∂x − ∂y − ∂x − ∂y These can be rearranged to express all of the transverse fieldcomponentsintermsofEz and Hz,giving 1 ∂Ez ∂Hz 1 ∂Ez ∂Hz Ex = γ + ωµ Hx = ω γ −γ2 + k2 ∂x ∂y γ2 + k2 ∂y − ∂x w W w W 1 ∂Ez ∂Hz 1 ∂Ez ∂Hz Ey = γ + ωµ Hy = ω + γ γ2 + k2 − ∂y ∂x −γ2 + k2 ∂x ∂y w W w W For propagating waves, γ = β,whereβ is a real number provided there is no loss.

  • Uniform Plane Waves
    38 2. Uniform Plane Waves Because also ∂zEz = 0, it follows that Ez must be a constant, independent of z, t. Excluding static solutions, we may take this constant to be zero. Similarly, we have 2 = Hz 0. Thus, the fields have components only along the x, y directions: E(z, t) = xˆ Ex(z, t)+yˆ Ey(z, t) Uniform Plane Waves (transverse fields) (2.1.2) H(z, t) = xˆ Hx(z, t)+yˆ Hy(z, t) These fields must satisfy Faraday’s and Amp`ere’s laws in Eqs. (2.1.1). We rewrite these equations in a more convenient form by replacing and μ by: 1 η 1 μ = ,μ= , where c = √ ,η= (2.1.3) ηc c μ Thus, c, η are the speed of light and characteristic impedance of the propagation medium. Then, the first two of Eqs.

  • CHAPTER-I MICROWAVE TRANSMISSION LINES the Electromagnetic Spectrum Is the Range of All Possible Frequencies of Electromagnetic
    CHAPTER-I MICROWAVE TRANSMISSION LINES The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absolved. The electromagnetic spectrum extends from below the low frequencies used for modern radio communication to gamma radiation at the short-wavelength (high-frequency) end, thereby covering wavelengths from thousands of kilometers down to a fraction of the size of an atom as shown in Fig 1.1. The limit for long wavelengths is beyond one‟s imagination. One theory existing depicts that the short wavelength limit is in the vicinity of the Planck length. A few scientists do believe that the spectrum is infinite and continuous. Microwaves region forms a small part of the entire electromagnetic spectrum as shown in Fig 1.1. Microwaves are electromagnetic waves generally in the frequency range of 1 G Hz to 300 GHz. However with the advent of technology usage of higher end of the frequencies became possible and now the range is extended almost to 1000 G Hz. Fig:1.1: Electromagnetic Spectrum 1 Brief history of Microwaves • Modern electromagnetic theory was formulated in 1873 by James Clerk Maxwell, a German scientist solely from mathematical considerations. • Maxwell‟s formulation was cast in its modern form by Oliver Heaviside, during the period 1885 to 1887. • Heinrich Hertz, a German professor of physics carried out a set of experiments during 1887-1891 that completely validated Maxwell‟s theory of electromagnetic waves. • It was only in the 1940‟s (World War II) that microwave theory received substantial interest that led to radar development. • Communication systems using microwave technology began to develop soon after the birth of radar.

Not only does the THM exhibit two distinct allowed bands with right- handed and left-handed electromagnetic responses, but posses a further advantage of being independent to the polarizations of external excitations. In addition, the THM automatically matches the wave impedance in free space, leading to maximum transmittances about 0.8 dB in the left-handed band and almost 0 dB in the right-handed band, respectively. Such a THM can be employed for diverse electromagnetic devices including dual-band bandpass filters, ultra-wide bandpass filters and superlenses. ©2008 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (160.3918) Metamaterials; (350.3618) Left-handed materials; (260.5740) Resonance; (350.4010) Microwaves.

In order to determine the transmission line’s surface impedances created by each gap and particle containing cavities, a sub-unit cell that centers the gap and cavities was used. Shown in simulation, the magnetic responsive particles can then be manipulated to increase or decrease the reactance of the surface impedance based on the strength of the magnetic field present. The sub-unit cell with the greatest reactance change was then implemented into a unit cell, which is a cascade of sub-unit cells.
