About the book*

Microwave Theory and Applications by Stephen F. Adam is a comprehensive guide that delves into the principles and practical aspects of microwave engineering. Originally published in 1969 by Prentice Hall, this 513-page volume has been a valuable resource for engineers, scientists, and students interested in the field of microwave technology.

Overview:

The book offers an in-depth exploration of microwave theory, covering topics such as transmission line theory, distributed line analysis, and electromagnetic wave propagation. It emphasizes a scientific approach to understanding microwave systems, focusing on the underlying principles rather than relying solely on empirical methods or specific technologies.

Chapter list (each has sub chapters and sections that are quite extensive):

1. Introduction
2. Transmission Line Theory
3. Principles Of Microwave Measurements
4. Laboratory Sources For Microwave Signal Generation
5. Signal Analysis
6. Network Analysis
7. Index

Key Features:

• Measurement Techniques: Detailed discussions on measurement error analysis, including methods to assess and minimize inaccuracies in microwave measurements.

• Component Analysis: Examination of various microwave components, such as traveling-wave tubes (TWTs) and rotary vane attenuators, providing insights into their operation and applications.

• System Applications: Insights into the design and implementation of microwave systems, highlighting real-world applications and challenges encountered in the field.

The book is noted for its clarity and depth, making complex concepts accessible to readers with a foundational understanding of electrical engineering and physics. Its enduring relevance is reflected in positive reviews from professionals who have utilized it as a reference throughout their careers.

For those interested in a thorough understanding of microwave theory and its applications, Stephen F. Adam's work remains a significant and informative resource.

We take a look to determine the book's condition. We ship in protective packing to ensure it arrives in the best possible shape during shipping. 

While we try to indicate the condition of all books, used books may have publisher or retail store merchant price stickers, writing or residuals or original pricing imprints and those may not be indicative of and differ from current pricing. Used books may have original or owners name, etc written or stamped in book. Stickers such as original or old pricing, inventory, etc may still be on the book as well as spots where the sticker has been previously removed. We do our best to describe the book in the condition notes above as well. Subject to shelf wear, the picture is the actual item photo. If we have more than one, we will endeavor to show the worst book or list separately. Pricing is based on today's value and not old price stickers.

We pack and ship with care! We do this right, unlike some of the other mega warehouse sellers who really haven't even looked at the book and then toss it in a cheap bag for shipping. We do better than that, and we suspect you expect better if you collect and value good books.
