Advanced Microwave RF Antennas and Circuits by Aluf, Ofer;

Long description:

"

This book describes a new concept in analyzing RF/Microwave circuits, which includes RF/Microwave antennas. The analysis is based on nonlinear dynamics and chaos models and shows comprehensive benefits and results. All conceptual RF microwave circuits and antennas are innovative and can be broadly implemented in engineering applications. The presentation fills the gap of analytical methods for microwave RF antennas and circuit's analysis, concrete examples, and geometric examples. The microwave RF antennas and circuits analysis is developed systematically, starting with basic microwave RF circuits and antennas differential equations and their bifurcations, followed by fixed points analysis, limit cycles, Basin of Attraction (BOA) and Stability, Stability switching. Additionally the book discusses RFID Antennas systems design and analysis, RF amplifiers basic and advance topics & design methods. This book is aimed at electrical and electronic engineers, RF and microwave engineers, students and researchers in physics as well. It is aimed for research institutes in the area of high power Laser and Target chamber interaction which need to design and use Moebius loop antennas for detecting the created EMP. It is also aimed for research institutes in the areas RF/Microwave, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) or electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy and Electromagnetism and gives good comprehensive in RF and Microwave systems.

This second edition includes new chapters about, Moebius loop magnetic antennas and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) RF coils systems, which both are analyzed and simulate for stability and stability switching. This second edition includes a new appendix about, Transmission lines and matching networks & Antennas systems and Oscillation systems, fundamental and main parameters.

Unique features of the book are its emphasis on practical and innovative microwave RF engineering applications. These include microwave RF circuits and antennas in a variety topological structures, RFID ICs and antennas, microstrips, circulators, cylindrical RF network antennas, Tunnel Diode (TD), bipolar transistors, field effect transistors (FETs), IMPATT amplifiers, Small Signal (SS) amplifiers, Bias-T circuits, PIN diode circuits, power amplifiers, oscillators, resonators, filters, N-turn antennas, dual spiral coils antennas, Helix antennas, linear dipole and slot array, Moebius loop magnetic antennas, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) RF coils systems, and Hybrid trans linear circuit. Many examples are presented in this book and it is also ideal for intermediate level courses at graduate level studies. It is also ideal for engineer who has not had formal instruction in nonlinear dynamics, but who now desires to fill the gap between innovative microwave RF circuits and antennas and advance mathematical analysis methods.
