Ebook: Microwave Receivers with Electronic Warfare Applications

This book provides an introduction to microwave receivers and is written at a level appropriate for advanced undergraduates and first-year graduate students. The advance in microwave receiver development can be considered to be a result of device and logic circuit research. On the other hand, many of the new microwave devices and new ideas in microwave systems are developed as by-products of specific receiver designs. Therefore, this book is written primarily for both microwave receiver engineers and microwave device engineers. The book is divided into two parts, the general properties and the structures of microwave receivers. The properties of microwave receivers are discussed in Chapters 1-3 and in 12. The structures of different receivers are discussed in Chapters 4-11. The basic properties of microwave devices used in receivers are discussed where appropriate.
