Wideband RF Technologies and Antennas in Microwave Frequencies

About this book

Presents wideband RF technologies and antennas in the microwave band and millimeter-wave band

This book provides an up-to-date introduction to the technologies, design, and test procedures of RF components and systems at microwave frequencies. The book begins with a review of the elementary electromagnetics and antenna topics needed for students and engineers with no basic background in electromagnetic and antenna theory. These introductory chapters will allow readers to study and understand the basic design principles and features of RF and communication systems for communications and medical applications. After this introduction, the author examines MIC, MMIC, MEMS, and LTCC technologies. The text will also present information on meta-materials, design of microwave and mm wave systems, along with a look at microwave and mm wave receivers, transmitters and antennas.

  • Discusses printed antennas for wireless communication systems and wearable antennas for communications and medical applications
  • Presents design considerations with both computed and measured results of RF communication modules and CAD tools
  • Includes end-of-chapter problems and exercises

Wideband RF Technologies and Antennas in Microwave Frequencies is designed to help electrical engineers and undergraduate students to understand basic communication and RF systems definition, electromagnetic and antennas theory and fundamentals with minimum integral and differential equations.

Albert Sabban, PhD, is a Senior Researcher and Lecturer at Ort Braude College Karmiel Israel. Dr. Sabban was RF and antenna specialist at communication and Biomedical Hi-tech Companies. He designed wearable compact antennas to medical systems. From 1976 to 2007, Dr. Albert Sabban worked as a senior R&D scientist and project leader in RAFAEL.

ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE PROPAGATION AND APPLICATIONS

The purpose of this chapter is to provide a short survey of electromagnetic wave propagation and applications. The electromagnetic spectrum and basic definitions of electromagnetic wave propagation are presented in this chapter. Transmitting and receiving information in microwave frequencies are based on electromagnetic wave propagation.

1.1 ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM

The electromagnetic spectrum corresponds to electromagnetic waves from the meter range to the mm‐wave range. The characteristic feature of this phenomenon is the short wavelength involved. The wavelength is of the same order of magnitude as the circuit devices used. The propagation time from one point of the circuit to another point of the circuit is comparable with period of the oscillating voltages and currents in the circuit. Conventional low circuit analysis based on Kirchhoff’s and Ohm’s laws could not analyze and describe the variation of fields, voltages, and currents along the length of the components. Components that their dimensions are lower than a 10th of wavelength are called lumped elements. Components that their dimensions are higher than a 10th of wavelength are called distributed elements. Kirchhoff’s and Ohm’s laws may be applied to lumped elements. However, Kirchhoff’s and Ohm’s laws cannot be applied to distributed elements.
To prevent interference and to provide efficient use of the radio spectrum, similar services are allocated in bands (see Refs. [1–3]). B...
