The IET has organised training courses on microwave measurements since
1983, at which experts have lectured on modern developments. The purpose
of this third edition of the lecture notes is to bring the latest
techniques in microwave measurements to a wider audience. The book
includes a survey of the theory of current microwave circuits as well as
a description of the techniques for the measurement of power, spectrum,
attenaution, circuit parameters, and noise, measurements of antenna
characteristics, free fields, modulation and dielectric parameters. The
emphasis throughout is on good measurement practice. All the essential
theory is given and a previous knowledge of the subject is not assumed.
The book will be of interest to those engaged in the design of microwave
measurement systems in both research and industry, those providing
microwave measurement systems in both research and industry, in
measurement services and those involved in teaching microwave
measurements in universities.
