Modern Passive Circuit Design for Wireless: Applications in Communications, Radar, and EW Systems

Modern Passive Circuit Design for Wireless: Applications in Communications, Radar, and EW Systems delivers a comprehensive treatment of ultrawideband, dual-band, reconfigurable, differential-mode, and harmonic-suppressed passive circuits across RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave domains. Drawing on two decades of evolution in planar and integrated technologies, this book equips engineers with the modern techniques required to meet aggressive size, weight, bandwidth, and cost constraints in today’s front ends.

Gain a systematic framework for choosing the right circuit topology, selecting the optimal fabrication technology, and understanding the physical mechanisms that govern broadband and multiband performance. Bridge theory and fabrication using PCB, MIC, MMIC, RFIC, SIW, slow-wave structures, defected ground structures, metamaterials, fractals, and lumped-element approaches. Evaluate competing design techniques, understand circuit behavior, and implement compact, multifunction passives using technologies such as slow-wave structures, defected ground structures, SIW, metamaterials, fractal geometries, and lumped-element techniques. Detailed analysis, closed-form design equations, performance tables, measured data, and step-by-step design procedures enable practitioners to move confidently from concept to hardware. Extensive and up-to-date references support deeper research, while practical design guidance and solved examples accelerate development cycles and reduce costly iteration.

Focusing on current trends toward smaller, lighter, broadband, multiband, and multifunction components and circuits, this timely reference is an essential design tool for professionals designing compact, high-performance RF and millimeter-wave subsystems for next-generation wireless, defense, and emerging high-frequency applications
