Overview
The ridge waveguide, which is a rectangular waveguide with one or more metal inserts (ridges), is an important transmission line in microwave engineering, now widely used in commercial electronics and communications devices. This book collects together much of the work of Professor Helszajn, an international authority in the field, and will enable the reader to have direct access to this important work without need for exhaustive search of research papers. Generously illustrated, it is likely to become the definitive reference source on this topic.Synopsis

This book collects much of Helszajn's work (formerly, Heriot-Watt University) and includes closed-form and finite element calculations of the propagation constant, attenuation and mode spectrum for the ridge waveguide, and power-current and power-voltage definitions of impedance. Circular polarization is also treated. Propagation properties where the waveguide has a dielectric filler are calculated. The treatment is then extended to more complex designs, including quadruple ridge waveguides with and without a gyromagnetic filler. The text includes descriptions of many of the passive devices which can be realized using these waveguides, including isolators, phase shifters, and circulators. Annotation c.
