Chapter 2. Core concepts of microwave and RF measurements

Published

Author(s)

Thomas M. Wallis, Pavel Kabos

Abstract

In this chapter we will review the core concepts of microwave and radio frequency (RF) propagation in both guided-wave and on-wafer environments. Because most of these concepts are well-known, we will introduce only the terms and definitions that are necessary for the development and description of the material used throughout this book. For many, this chapter will serve as a whirlwind tour of familiar concepts. Readers interested in further details will find them in the referenced literature.
