✦ Synopsis
BOOK REVIEWS 46I
As a natural development from the frequency dependency" of T and ~r sections, consideration is given to the fundamental properties of reactive networks, which serve as a basis for the designof the common varieties of constant-K and M-derived filters.
Circular and cylindrical wave guides and coaxial cable are today commonly used transmission means. An elementary but thorough treatment of introductory problems is included in this edition. These subjects are treated by field theory based upon Maxwell's equations with appropriate boundary conditions. One chapter is devoted to each of the major transmission means noted above, each time starting with the basic differential equations to derive the important parameters. One chapter is devoted to an outline of twelve transmission line experiments which illustrate basic principles.
This volume should find the same wide acceptance in educational circles as did the earlier editions. The illustrative examples worked out in the text help the reader grasp the principles presented and the rather complete set of problems, many of them new in this edition, are sufficient in number to keep any student busy for quite some time. Practicing electrical engineers who wish a quick review of some basic communications engineering would do well to read this book in their leisure moments.
