About the Author

       Professor GP Srivastava obtained his MSc in 1954 and DPhil in 1957 from University of Allahabad. He was a Professor in Department of Electronic Science, University of Delhi till 1991 and worked in advanced research field of Microwaves. He worked with many eminent researchers such as Prof G Herzberg, Prof HL Hartnagel and Prof RW Parson. He has worked in the field of microwave spectroscopy, magneto-microwave effects, microwave components, stripline, and laser induced non-linear optical effects. He has published more than 200 research papers in journals and presented around 50 papers in international conferences. He was fellow of National Academy of Sciences, IETE and senior member of IEEE.

        An attempt has been made to write a book which clears the fundamental concepts on microwaves. It lays emphasis on Transmission Lines, Scattering Matrix and Network Modelling. Smith Chart and its application in microwave circuits is also discussed. Attempt has been made to describe the essential features of Computer Aided Design (CAD) of microwave circuits. Some packages of CAD are explained. Attempt has been to describe the fundamental concepts to obtain useful results. Elements of Electronic Warfare is also presented in the book. The book is useful for higher level students of microwave engineering who can apply these concepts for actual design.
