Foundations for Microwave Engineering

I really like this book- especially the chapter on periodic structures and filters. The book helped me understand how K and J inverters are incorporated into filters and how the equations are formulated.

This is the standard text for the microwave engineer student.The author makes a very comprehensive survey of the field,beginning from basic electromagnetics and circuit theory and analyzing both passive and active devices and circuit.Very good coverage of the microstrip line basic theory which is very hard to find elsewhere.In my opinion professor Collin is a very gifted scientifical writer,both clear and accurate.If you want to be a first rate Microwave engineer then you surely need this book.Very good text!
