Advances in computer technology and in the development of modernmicrowave test instruments over the past decade have givenelectrical engineers, researchers and university students a numberof new approaches to study microwave components, devices andcircuits. Vector network analyser (VNA) is a valuable tool forproviding fast and accurate characterisation of microwavecomponents and devices for other circuits working at highfrequencies.
This book together with associated software serves as anintroduction to microwave network analysis, microwave componentsand devices, and microwave circuit design. Software VNA andMicrowave Network Design and Characterisation also provides bothdevice and circuit simulators powered by the analytical formulaepresented in the book. The book consists of chapters on networkanalysis theory and network parameters, installation and functionsof the software, built-in device models, circuit design andoperation principles and design examples.
The Software VNA provided with the book includes:
* a trainer for users to gain experience of how a VNA wouldoperate in practice.
* Capability of accessing to the data on a commercial VNA testinstrument.
* device simulator equipped with 35 device builders from whichan unlimited number of devices can be defined and studied.
* circuit simulator that can be used to build circuits and studytheir properties.
Software VNA and Microwave Network Design andCharacterisation is a practical guide for senior undergraduateand MSc students as well as practising engineers and researchers inthe field of microwave engineering.
