Advances in computer technology and in the development of modernmicrowave test instruments over the past decade have givenelectrical engineers, researchers and university students a numberof new approaches to study microwave components, devices andcircuits. Vector network analyser (VNA) is a valuable tool forproviding fast and accurate characterisation of microwavecomponents and devices for other circuits working at highfrequencies.
This book together with associated software serves as anintroduction to microwave network analysis, microwave componentsand devices, and microwave circuit design. Software VNA andMicrowave Network Design and Characterisation also provides bothdevice and circuit simulators powered by the analytical formulaepresented in the book. The book consists of chapters on networkanalysis theory and network parameters, installation and functionsof the software, built-in device models, circuit design andoperation principles and design examples.
The Software VNA provided with the book includes:
* a trainer for users to gain experience of how a VNA wouldoperate in practice.
* Capability of accessing to the data on a commercial VNA testinstrument.
* device simulator equipped with 35 device builders from whichan unlimited number of devices can be defined and studied.
* circuit simulator that can be used to build circuits and studytheir properties.
Software VNA and Microwave Network Design andCharacterisation is a practical guide for senior undergraduateand MSc students as well as practising engineers and researchers inthe field of microwave engineering.

Über Autor(innen)

Zhipeng Wu is currently a Professor in the Microwave and Communications Group in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Manchester. His research interests are in the field of antennas and propagation for wireless and mobile communications, tomographic systems and sensors, and microwave engineering, and he has taught many courses on these topics including Masters courses in microwave measurements and communication systems, and senior undergraduate courses in microwave components and systems and communication principles. He has been at the university since 1998, and was elevated, in 2005 to become a Senior Member of the IEEE and Fellow of the IEE. He has been invited to be a program committee member of a number of international conferences, and will the Chair of the Technical Program Committee for the International Workshop on Antenna Technology in 2007. He has co-authored the book Radiowave Propagation Over Ground (Kluwer, 1993) and the accompanying software to this book, and also the vector network analyser (VNA) software for the proposed book. Along with this, he has written a chapter in the Wiley Encyclopedia of RF and Microwave Engineering (Wiley, 2005), and the book Dielectric Resonator Antennas (Research Studies Press, 2003), and authored over 120 conference and journal publications.
