RF and Microwave Engineering is one of the fastest growth areas of the past decade and will probably continue to be a very active area of research and application in a large variety of fields. The six volume set of Encyclopedia of RF and Microwave Engineering illustrates how this field has been the key to enabling technology responsible for the phenomenal growth of wireless communications. This set also examines how RF and microwave engineering continues to have great influence as the technology behind such important applications as radar, remote sensing, remote control, sensors, navigation, surveillance, electronic warfare, radiometers, plasma research, and imaging.

There has been rapid development in RF and microwave
technologies during the past decade. RF and microwave
wireless applications have been and continue to be among
the hottest growth areas. Some of the expanding activities
in these fields include wireless communications (mobile,
cellular, and satellite), wireless sensors, local area networks,
remote control and identification, global positioning
systems (GPS), and intelligent highway and vehicle
systems (IHVS). In view of these growing applications, it
is timely to publish this Encyclopedia of RF and Microwave
Engineering.
The Encyclopedia is intended to serve as a compendium
of theory, design methods, applications, overview, and
future trends of technologies. Each article is a self-contained
unit and is written for both non-specialists and
specialists. Some overlap among articles is allowed for
easy study. It is hoped that this Encyclopedia will provide
useful information for technicians, students, professors,
engineers, managers, and researchers in today’s rapidly
changing high-frequency technologies.
The Encyclopedia consists of six volumes. The articles
include an overview of each subject, followed by in-depth
descriptions of important theory, technology developments,
and applications. Each article includes a list of
references for further study. Some articles are adapted
from the Encyclopedia of Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
Most of these articles have been revised and
updated. Among the major topics are the following:
Electromagnetics
Numerical Methods
Wave Propagation
