Modelling and computations in electromagnetics is a quite fast-growing research area. Therecent interest in this field is caused by the increased demand for designing complex microwavecomponents, modeling electromagnetic materials, and rapid increase in computational powerfor calculation of complex electromagnetic problems. The first part of this book is devoted tothe advances in the analysis techniques such as method of moments, finite-difference time-domain method, boundary perturbation theory, Fourier analysis, mode-matching method,and analysis based on circuit theory. These techniques are considered with regard to severalchallenging technological applications such as those related to electrically large devices,scattering in layered structures, photonic crystals, and artificial materials.The second part of the book deals with waveguides, transmission lines and transitions. Thisincludes microstrip lines (MSL), slot waveguides, substrate integrated waveguides (SIW),vertical transmission lines in multilayer media as well as MSL to SIW and MSL to slot linetransitions.

This book is based on recent research work conducted by the authors dealing with the designand development of active and passive microwave components, integrated circuits andsystems. It is divided into seven parts. In the first part comprising the first two chapters,alternative concepts and equations for multiport network analysis and characterization areprovided. A thru-only de-embedding technique for accurate on-wafer characterization isintroduced. The second part of the book corresponds to the analysis and design of ultra-wideband low-noise amplifiers (LNA).
