Microwave Materials and Fabrication Techniques

Booknews

Acquaints microwave circuit designers with the materials and fabrication techniques of the field to help them avoid problems and produce designs that perform as well on the bench as on paper or a computer screen. Laverghetta (electronic communications, Purdue U.) discusses laminates and substrates, metals, microwave artwork, etching and plating techniques, bonding techniques, and microwave packaging. The appendices provide such information as coefficients of expansion, chemical symbols, melting points, temperature conversion, and microwave connectors. Some of the chapters have been extensively revised from the 1991 second edition. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
