Microwave Component Mechanics

Аннотация

The intention of this chapter is to introduce the reader to the world of microwaves (MW), taking into account the appropriate applications and practices required within mechanical engineering. We start by showing a brief systematic treatment of Maxwell’s equations. They may look tedious, but they are quite useful. After that, a number of practical cases follow, including examples of material problems and dimensional uncertainties. Next, the basics of radio frequency cables and connectors are briefly described. Finally, a definition of the typical user environment is given.
