Title: Basic microwaves
Description: (from the backcover) This comprehensive text develops a clear understanding of the principles underlying modern microwave technology.  Beginning in the familiar area of wave phenomena, it considers electromagnetic waves both in free space and intercating with matter.  A discussion of refelction, refraction, and difraction provides the basis for the introduction of antenna theory and a thorough description of antenna types.  This provides background for a meaningful treatment of transmission line theory and the effects of obstacles in waveguides.  The conclusion of the book considers the important factors in microwave component design.  One unique aspect of this book is that although complete in its survey of the field, it is non-rigorous; a knowledge of calculus is not required.  Mathematical aids are introduced and explained where needed.  Summaries and review questions are provided at the end of each chapter for reinforcement.
