PREFACE

The contents of this eBook is written based on the Malaysian polytechnic syllabus for DEP50043 MicroDevices course taken by Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Communication) students. There are four topics in this course. Each topic will be compiled in eBook format separately. So the first compilation of this eBook is related to topic 3 , titled Microwave Measuremet.

The content of the eBook is divided into 3 sections which begin with a description related to the transmission line that carries the signal in the highest frequency in the form of an equivalent circuit consisting of the lump parameters. Next is a description on types of measurements performed on microwave systems. The third section deals with the Smith chart that is used to simplify the calculation of transmitter line parameters without using equations.

Exercises and probles are also provided to test the readers’s understanding and the answers are given at the end of the chapter.

We hope this eBook will be useful to the students, instructors as well as others interested in microwave measurement. We welcome feedback and comments for further improvement.
