Microwave Engineering-I

Microwave Engineering-I is an English-medium textbook for V Semester engineering students covering waveguides and microwave tubes such as klystrons. The book is arranged in five units. It starts with waveguides and waveguide components, the structures that guide and control microwave signals. The remaining units study microwave tubes: klystrons, travelling wave tubes and the magnetron. Written by Raghvendra Patidar, this 2009 edition runs to 296 pages. The first part explains how microwave energy is carried and handled, and the second explains how it is generated and amplified, giving a complete first course in the subject. It is meant for V Semester students of electronics and communication engineering who study microwave engineering, and for readers who need a clear grounding in waveguides and microwave tubes before moving on to solid-state microwave devices.
