"This book presents comprehensive material on microwave engineering. Though there are a number of books on this subject but none of them covers all the aspects in detail and with the equal emphasis. In the present text almost all topics including microwave generation, transmission, measurement and processing are given almost the equal weightage"-- Provided by publisher.
