  • Summary

    The recent shift in focus from defense and government work to commercial wireless efforts has caused the job of the typical microwave engineer to change dramatically. The modern microwave and RF engineer is expected to know customer expectations, market trends, manufacturing technologies, and factory models to a degree that is unprecedented in the history of RF/microwave engineering. With a broad, balanced range of material, The RF and Microwave Handbook provides you with the means to understand and use these factors to improve your overall performance.
