Dielectric resonators : analysis, applications, and materials

Filling an existing need, "Dielectric Resonators: Analysis, Applications, and Materials" is the first comprehensive book on this rapidly evolving field.

Some of the newer topics included are: the recent analysis methods, which are preferred for their accuracy, such as a simple, effective dielectric constant (EDC) model, the transmission line matrix (TLM) and finite difference time domain (FDTD) methods, several planar resonator/filter configurations useful for miniaturization of microwave circuits, resonators with high temperature super conductor (HTSC) shielding and dual/multimode resonators, and the whispering gallery mode (WGM) of resonance in DR which is useful for higher ceramic dielectric materials for resonators.
