Electronic Transmission Technology - Lines, Waves and Antenna

Electronic Transmission Technology: Lines, Waves, and Antennas
By William Sinnema

In addition to providing a strong background in the fundamentals of traveling waves on both guided structures and free space, this book considers the sources most commonly used in optic and microwave communication, with the generation, transmission, and detection of electromagnetic waves stressed throughout via clear, practical applications rather than abstract theory alone. The author devotes a complete chapter to the characteristics of transmission lines, followed by two further chapters on the behavior of transient and steady-state current and voltage along such lines, before moving into the various techniques used in impedance measurement and matching. Antenna fundamentals and radiowave propagation round out the text's coverage. A later edition added a new chapter on fiber optics reflecting the technology's growing importance, a new chapter on satellite communications with particular emphasis on the TVRO system, an expanded section on microwave sources, and broadened coverage of antennas and antenna arrays.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Transmission line characteristics and parameters
• Transient and steady-state behavior on transmission lines
• Impedance measurement and matching (including the Smith Chart)
• Waveguides and microwave propagation
• Fiber optics
• Satellite communications and TVRO systems
• Antenna fundamentals and antenna arrays
• Radiowave propagation and free-space loss

Key features:

• Complete dedicated chapters on transmission line theory and behavior
• Later edition adds fiber optics and satellite communications coverage
• Strong practical, applications-driven approach to electromagnetic wave theory
• Detailed treatment of impedance matching techniques, including Smith Chart use
• Broad single-volume scope spanning lines, waves, and antennas

Perfect for:

• Electronics and communications engineering students studying transmission lines and antennas
• Students needing a practical, applications-focused treatment of electromagnetic wave propagation
• Technicians and engineers working with microwave, fiber optic, or satellite communication systems
• Faculty teaching a combined transmission-lines-and-antennas course
