MICROWAVE COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY

This work presents two aspects of microwave communication technology. The

first is the design of new wideband high gain microstrip antenna and the
second is that of compact high performance low-pass and band-pass filters.
In this brief introduction we describe the basic RF stages of wireless
transmitters and receivers, and provide an introductory discussion of the
main RF and microwave components that are used in these systems.
Applications of microwave components such as microstrip antennas and
filters will be considered. In the next chapters we will introduce the analysis
and design of these components in much more detail, so the purpose here is
simply to provide an initial broad view
