In the early stages of the development of modern radio techniques, only the low end of the frequency spectrum was utilized because, not only was there a limited number of users of these techniques, but the number of applications was limited as well. As techniques and components became more sophisticated, the obvious direction for expansion was into the higher reaches of the frequency spectrum. This was done, but the state of the art kept advancing at an ever-increasing rate. As a result, by the start of World War II the bandwidth requirements of sophisticated communication and radar equipment were in the microwave regions.

Microwaves are widely used in modern technology. One major field is the television industry. On a local level, microwaves are used from the studio to transmitter locations.

The major strengths of this book are the chapters on transmission line and waveguide theory, signal analysis, and measurement of scattering parameters - the fundamental operating basis of modern vector network analyzers. Other excellent sections are on the use of the Smith chart and on graphical analysis of microwave systems.
