Abstract
This book covers the analysis methods of planar transmission line structures from basics to advanced levels. All important fundamental concepts and principles are covered as far as is possible within a text of reasonable size. The content of the book may be split into three parts. The introduction gives a perspective of realized applications that require a thorough mathematical treatment. In the second part the essential fundamentals of electromagnetic theory are explained. A reader with some basic knowledge of vector mathematics can easily follow the treatment of Maxwell's equations in the text. The author not only explains the rules, but also gives valuable hints on how to solve special problems, thus reducing the otherwise inevitable search of the literature. In the third part various methods used to solve Maxwell's equations are described and applied to many to the usual realized line systems. A mathematical treatment as well as practical formulas and results of commonly used structures are provided. The examples guide the reader from the start to the solution of the problem (e.g. Schwarz-Christoffel Mapping). This book, with its thorough mathematical treatment, addresses students of electromagnetic theory but it also addresses the engineer who is in need of knowledge and practical, easy-to-apply formulas for the various line systems. It would have been better if a discussion of important and emerging numerical methods such as FDFD and FDTD had been included. F J Schm�ckle
